Leaving my job, some thoughts on that.

As the title says, I’m leaving my current job and had a farewell get together dinner. The manager and couple of colleagues showed up and at the end, we all ended up paying for our food. It was weird because in previous farewell gatherings, the manager payed for the entire meal. But this time, it panned out differently.

I want to move on from this incident, but would like to know the thoughts of folks from this community on how they dealt with similar situations. Any piece of advice or wisdom would be appreciated
