One can, and I certainly would if I was the one leaving, but others are probably less likely too. At least around here.
ETA: Which reminds me of the tragedy that was the farewell meal for a friend who left the firm. This guy was the summer associate from his class most known to enjoy a few spirited beverages, and a bit of a nonconformist. Yet the fact that he was also very smart, motivated and a good associate led him to come into the high regard of the least popular junior partner, who took it upon himself to arrange a dry, awkward and early (have to beat the rush) going away lunch. Lament for the many glasses of firm-sponsored 20 year old single malt that were left unconsumed.
