Saying goodbye isn't only a way of exiting a situation, but closing the deal. Imagine you're at your first job interview. You're nervous, palms sweaty, feet shaking, and you're completely focused on your first impression. Well, imagine you pass the first test and then you have to sell yourself to your (hopefully) future employer. You pass that test as well. Finally, you reach the end of the interview and it is time to seal the deal. The employer loves your resume, loves your skill, but specifically, loves you! However, you still need to say goodbye the right way in order for that love to continue into your job. Want to know why?

Goodbyes have always had a beautiful meaning between people throughout all of time. So what you're doing with your employer is fully closing off the conservation with a specific meaning that you want to be there, or don't want to be there, or any other third reason. A pleasant, warm goodbye will display your excitement into the workplace and bring acceptance into the mind of your employer. A distant goodbye with little words will indicate hesitance, nervousness, skepticism, things you don't want your employer to assume.
Now we're all guilty of not wanting to talk to people sometimes and you want to act distant so they'll leave you alone and that is acceptable. However, try not to be completely rude about it. Do it in a nice and pleasant manner so they aren't left with a million questions or wondering if you hate them or something of the sort.
