Today, I left the one place I spent most of the last five years (not counting my home): my work.
And like a good little team manager, I made sure I have turned over all of my functions before leaving and sent an Out Of Office Plan.
Hi Everyone,
Today is my last reporting day at Citi.
After more than five years of Citi life, the thought of leaving is indeed a sin - I may be perfect (I am Quality, after all) but I am also human.
Coming back though is a temptation. Again, I am human. Let's see how long I can resist. =)
After all, one must leave before one can come back. And I hope thatwhenif that happens, it will feel like I never left.
Thank you very much for the opportunity of having worked with a great team, and for the knowledge I have acquired from all of you.
Please extend the same cooperation and support to the people who are temporarily taking over my functions, and to the person who will permanently replace me as the Quality Team Leader.
In closing, I say what I (and my closest friends) have always said (out of my CEO's earshot, of course):
Citi stole my youth.
And gave me wisdom. And friends. And helped me pay the bills. Not necessarily in that order.
Not a bad bargain, I'd say. Not bad at all.
I'm sad. And scared. But touched. A little lost. And excited.
