I Hope It’s A Nice Handbag At Least
Several supervisors from my old department have come forward with interesting observations.
“There’s so much that’s wrong right now that you never would have let happen”
“Oh my god, the department’s going to hell”
“I never realized how much you did until you were gone”
“I’ve given my 2 weeks”
These comments are both flattering and troubling.
They seem to have dropped the ball in some areas but I think the real problem is that they let the fun go. The spirit seems to have waned. Now I should mention I wasn’t the one who built this empire, but I did maintain and defend it.
Naturally I never wanted the department to suffer, they’re like my family. In point of fact some of them are more like family than my actual family. In fact just recently when faced with a challenging personal situation Calvin, a supervisor in the aforementioned department, was the first person I felt comfortable talking to about it.
Now parallel to this 3 of my staff are moving on. Ostensibly because they have other opportunities/commitments and despite the numbers and timing of it I see no real reason not to take them at their word.
Dare I wonder if my new family could adopt some refugees from my old?
