Epilogue
Below is my farewell mail that I had written on my last day in my previous organisation where I have spent 8 years of my prime. I am sharing the same here.
Hi All,
After a fantastic 8 years of my life in BT it is finally time to hang up my boots and move on. Come to think of it I have spent a quarter of my life in this Organization which increases the magnitude of the time I spent here and that too the best years of my life. I can’t help but jog up my memory to a rainy day, 8 monsoons ago when I landed up in the hallowed BT Office of Mumbai to become a part of the India Helpdesk Team. Right from day one it has been a wonderful ride all along across roles and across accounts. I had learnt the tricks of the trade here especially from the India Customers whom I was dealing as part of the India helpdesk. The time I spent here chiselled my rough edges and laid a solid foundation for the times to come.
My time as a Service Manager in AIA Shared Services Hong Kong would go down as one of the most fruitful assignments of my career. 2 months into the new role fresh out of the Helpdesk landing up in the AIA Headquarters at Stubbs Road Hong Kong in a crisp Business suit waiting in the lobby for my Senior Service Manager is one of my fondest memories which I will never forget. My time in Unilever was equally rewarding. I was fortunate enough to work with a great Team and a Wonderful Leader. This stint was again a great learning experience for me. I was given opportunities to work on areas and Technologies hitherto I had no exposure to.
All along I have met some great people, Mentors and Leaders who have given me some great insights both personally as well as professionally. I will forever remember these folks with gratitude for the person that I am today .I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my present and past managers among many others. Last but not the least I would like to thank all of my colleagues who I had the privilege of working with. I have made some great friends across the World from Brazil to Hong Kong during my time here.
Today morning as I was getting ready to come to office it felt surreal. I made sure that I felt each and every action rather than going through the motions. This had been my routine for the past so many years and I am going to miss BT ,the wonderful people I have worked with and even the City. I would like to sign off by borrowing a line from a placard seen in the gallery during the farewell Test of Sachin Tendulkar here at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. “Thanks for the Memories”.
Regards,
Angelo
