how often do u secretly rejoice at the departure of a 'friend' you knew at work?
we are not colleagues. he's only an acquaintance who started to wreak havoc in recent weeks. countless emails have been flying around to deliberate our next strategy. hours have been spent discussing how to best pacify him without going to the extreme of evicting him. in the end, he chose to leave with a big 'R' package which even his management agreed in order to buy some peace....
i'm not the only one motivated by his departure. all along, i had the support of my boss who was the big mastermind in cornering him to accept the payout. with his impending move, that leaves a vacuum at the top. the big ordeal of having to deal with a highly sensitive man taught me the importance of patience. his departure was indeed timely and a blessing in disguise. his thinking and distrusting attitude was a serious misfit within the organisation. he didn't leave empty handed for he had more than what he bargained for.
i'm excited about being involved in shortlisting the next replacement. the days of tolerating his ways will soon be over. i feel relieved... and looking forward to starting afresh with the new team :)
