When I announced a week ago that I was leaving I almost ended up with a batch resignations on my desk – the team wanted to leave – but I pulled them off the phones and into a meeting room and coached them not to burn bridges or make decisions around what’s going on in my life – that their decisions need to be based on their lives…mouths to feed, mortgages to pay etc…<\/p>\n

Yesterday I had a party during my last team meeting to talk to them and to give them little gifts to remember me by – our team is called the Devil Ducks after a little rubber devil bathtub duck and it has been for 2 years ….so I presented each of them with a devil duck and had printed a little card and tied it with a ribbon around the duck’s necks – the cards read “you will always be a Duck – you just have to believe in yourself as much as I believe in you — Believe!”<\/p>\n

Lots of us cried – and they’d also got me some presents and a big cake that was decorated with all my sayings…..<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/a>and a couple of the cards with the nicest send off messages….
<\/span>
Then the door opens and every Team Lead and Sup and Ops Manager in the barn came filing in<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/a> and they sang “for she’s a jolly good fellow” and the Sup from hell made a speech about how he’s learned something about keeping the humanity in management from me and that I have definitely made an ongoing impact at the Corp – and that I dragged them all kicking and screaming into managing with compassion and real feelings and that I will truly be missed – and made me cry all over again – I told them that they’d finally found a way to shut me up! <\/span>

Today will be my last day – and a little easier in some ways and a lot harder in others…I will miss my team desperately – but they are friends now and I like to think that they will stay in touch….I’ve been able to secure a good new TL for them – a fellow that was originally from my team and has been temping for a yr made TL so I do my handover today – finish clearing out my desk and then it’s on to the new life!<\/p>\n

Kinda chrysalis like<\/p>\n
