A Lonely Departure…
5 more days to go…
It was Tuesday, 23rd December 2008… The office was quiet as usual that day. Nobody except for one colleague was present. I was told to check my email. So I logged in to my account and was surprised to see an email from my manager there. Its subject was “Early Release Form”. So I opened it up… It was indeed a form that stated I was relieved from duty with immediate effect.
So slowly, I packed my stuffs on my desk and around it clean.. I have to keep Keanu Reeves & Adam Brody in too… No Steven Gerrard yet.. ;P My colleague briefly asked me whether it’s my last day today and I just answered yes… Then he asked me the golden questions.. “Why don’t you work till the end of the month?” and “Why do you want to leave?”. I just smiled at him and continued packing my stuffs.
After completing my final project, I packed my last few things while looking back on my time spent there.. It was just my luck.. I even thought of leaving a note or something to my manager/boss. Then I thought, “What the hell? They did not even bother to be here in the first place”. Finally at half past midnight, I was done with everything.. Took a last look at my empty table, the quiet office, switched off the lights and closed the doors. A very lonely departure indeed…

I’m so sorry to hear that you got laid off your job. What a bunch of cowards to not even give you the news in person! It seems like good managers are getting fewer and farther between! hang in there. I hope you find a new job soon. keep up the good fight! Take care.

Wow, sucks, you said you asked for it, do you have another job to go to? Terrible they didn’t tell you in person, that is totally unprofessional!!
