Career Change

Day 101 - 899 days to go

Today is a unique day as I have farewell lunch and dinner with two colleagues by chance. I hardly have farewell meal with two two resigned or outgoing staff on the same day. Quite a number of staff left the company late with different reasons, some are voluntarily, some are due to reach retirement age and some are due to non confirmation and so on.

Well, regardless of the reasons, one thing is similar in common. They left with their experience acquired during their working period in the company and most often than not, big chunk of their experience is not captured, learned or retained within the organisation. Well, it may be a loss or may not be a loss to the company depends on how valuable or relevant is their experience as one wrong decision made can cost the company million.

I wish them all the best in their future undertaking. One thing for sure is that our friendship will not end with the termination of their employment with the company.

  1. Despite farewell might be a sad occasion, the chance to have meal with some of the not-so-often-eat-together colleagues is a happy event.
  2. Had a good briefing and meeting with our regulators and both had a much better understanding between both parties, the requirement expected for proposal submission and also the various product knowledge discussed.
