Short story
My boss was not in so i could not ask if he prepared anything special for my senior who's leaving on that day... The other boss (different department), he's considerate enough to do a surprise for my senior. You see my boss is not in.. I don't even know what to do and i only had 1 other senior but he's a guy that won't do anything to surprise the other senior (he did not mention anything on the previous intern's last day). So i really have no idea how to deal with this.. Well i am not the kind of person who'll take the first step in gathering people and saying there's a celebration and someone is leaving.. i am shy yes...
So prepared a card and a ferrero rocher as a token of appreciation for her.
Even if my boss is not taking any action. I should be the one doing something for her in represent of the company. I am glad the other boss asked me to buy a cake. Yeah somebody says something finally! But i did not manage to get a whole cake. So i told the boss i couldn't get a cake and also mention that one of the colleague mention that my senior doesn't want a cake for her farewell. She doesn't want a party.. So i said to the boss, no party but just goodbye wish then. The boss call me over again. Can you get a cupcake instead? Ok.. maybe a slice of cake will do.
So i bought a slice of cake and got the boss to represent our company to present the cake to her and also thanked her for the 9 years contribution. The senior was happy receiving it. I am happy seeing her smile. Not everyone gathered since she doesn't one a celebration... She went and thanked everyone individually at the end of the day.
Story ends
Lesson learnt?
Even if someone says she doesn't want a farewell, do take the effort to surprise her.. She doesnt mean it. It's good to have at least a slice of cake for the person leaving. =D She'l b happy =)
Even if your boss/other senior is busy to take care of this matter, u should initiate.. Ex, tell the other boss to represent your company/your department.
So guys prepare well for a good farewell for a colleague.
It's good to keep a good relationship with the person who's leaving! <--- words of wisdom from the boss!
Too many farewell this year! =( Pei Ing Good Luck!! Farewell is a norm now!!! You can do it LPI!!!
People come and go... It's normal... I find it interesting somehow having fate with whoever i met!!
Destined to meet and part... This is life... It wont stop~ Still finding the person who'll stay forever~~~
The card which made her laugh =D
P/S: Friday lunch at Spezzatura! hehe... delicious sandwhich~~~
