I find the trick is to spin what I want to say into somthing positive. I can't lie but I can avoid the questions, or just be vague.
In this situation. "Will you miss us?" (assuming I won't)
"Perhaps we will have the opportunity to work together in the future" (not implying I actually want to)
"So long everyone!"(ignores the question, this may also end the conversation as youve given yourself an out)
"I'm sure I'll meet many new people at my next opportunity" (to them it may imply you where happy to meet them, even if you where not)
- In this case, he was never going to see these people again, so no need to play the neurotypical game of lying to spare their feelings.
  
  Fair enough. You never know though. A place that fired me a years back in a city far from where I live now, is now my primary vendor. I need to work with them closely. So I am happy I didn't burn too many bridges on the way out.
- "Perhaps we will have the opportunity to work together in the future."
  I couldn't help but read that in a generic Vulcan voice that was a mix of Spock and the "We ain't found shit!" guy.
  
  The "we ain't found shit" guy from Spaceballs was a Vulkan in Star Trek Voyager, Tim Russ played Tuvok. So really, you can read it in just Tuvok's voice.
  
  I was joking that Tim Russ complains that is the role he is known for. I personally know him more as Tuvok, but that's because my parents wouldn't let me watch Spaceballs, so I saw Voyager first
  
  all right lemmy, it's time for a fight
  Tuvix didn't deserve to die, and even without considering Tuvix Janeway is a war criminal
- This feels like the moment I realized that figuring out a way to say 'thank you' rather than 'I'm sorry' grants +1 CHA
