I recently transferred back to main office. In Oct in fact.
I requested the transfer and was readily accepted by my GM.
Though it has been refreshing, I still reminisce my time in Sbldg.
Lots of things happened after I left.
And the latest one is A's resignation.
I know that like most of the boys, he also felt like I had abandoned him.
And to make things worse, there was no replacement for my position.
Therefore, he had to take up most of my responsibility.
I don't blame him for leaving. Many times I asked him if he's angry.
His reply was "I'm angry with the mgmt, not you!"
I feel relieved, but sad at the same time.
So when he confided in me about his resignation, I was half-heartedly happy for him.
He deserves more, and he can do more for himself.
He felt like he was stuck in a rut and therefore all the more he should make a move.
I told him that. I made the move because of my unhappiness with the situation.
It's been a positive change and I'm happier now, though it's quite a challenge to be doing things on your own.
Also, now there will be no more 'competition' with J.
She has been wanting to fill my position since I left, trying her best to win over the boys.
I let her be as I'm not there anymore.
The boys have all been good to me while I was there.
And even now still happy to see me when we ran into each other in main office.
A's leaving will make another impact to a gaping hole left behind by me.
Some have came up to me and commented on the 'loss' in Sbldg.
I had to put on a brave face and say well that's life.
Deep down inside I'm sad to see things going south like this.
But what to do? I can only watch and see.
I'm in no position to stop the change.
And change is inevitable.
I had dinner date with A, a month ago.
We had many things to catch up on.
It's really been a long time since we really talked.
Dinner was great. We had a long walk after dinner.
It was nice and refreshing.
And we are still good friends.
I'm glad to have worked in Sbldg for the last 2 years.
It has not been a waste of time. I've no regrets.
I've learnt many things, in both work and personal level.
And the boys just make my life more colourful and rewarding.
Thanks guys!! I do miss all of you.
Thanks for all the wonderful memories.
