My Sayonara letter to people in the company
I wrote this on the evening of the day before my last day… I sent it a few minutes before the bell rang… I was staring at it the whole day… tweaking a word or so… but not so much because it already said what I wanted to impart…
I’d like to extend my warmest thanks to you for making my stay here quite memorable and fulfilling. I leave knowing that I have worked with the best and brightest that this industry could ever offer.
It’s such a pleasure to work with people who treat the company as if it were there own, because you know that you will always get the best and not be shortchanged. I know for a fact that fear and courage are contagious… but from here I’ve learned that the passion for excellence is something that can rub off too.
If circumstances could have been different, my wife and I would have wanted to stay longer. But given the choice to choose between doing that which is better and that which is right, we opted to do what was right. It might not be the most rewarding, but it will be the most fulfilling.
Here’s hoping that we get the chance to cross paths again someday. Please feel free to contact me anytime by the following conduits listed below, be it for work issues or just idle banter.
Thanks and regards,
I feel sad… as much as I hated the project that I was in, it wasn’t a good enough reason for me to leave… other events made it so…
I will miss this great company of mine… I had a meeting with my boss before I left and he told me, that if ever I decided to come back… to look him up… he will try to get me back in… well, here’s to hoping that I never have to use that option… not that I wouldn’t want to come back.. but rather, it would mean that I have failed in the one noble thing I opted to do in my life… I will miss the hectic life… the rush of being part of a fast paced environment…
My matrix manager bought me lunch… in a fancy restaurant… she was a terror in the company… but so far I was lucky enough to not suffer her ire… the guys who were there also wished me luck… we ended it with hugs before we drove back to the company… I felt sad…
My wife had a farewell party that I was part of… they said that we were a loss for the company… but they were happy that we had the chance to do what we wanted to do… funny how life is eh?
Here’s hoping that we succeed in our endeavour… It’s in God’s hands now… even if we try our darnest… A little help from Him, always made things easier… I realized late in life… that problems are God’s way of making you come back to Him to seek help… so far He has never let me down… that’s why I put my trust always…
