Back to work after a long week break is definitely not something to look forward to.
What's worse is I came across a terrible news.
Mirko, my ex-boss of F&B, has resigned last Friday.
I doubt anyone can understand how I feel really. Almost four years of working with him, yet I don't even know how did we get close/did he appreciate me. Like my colleague said, even though I let him down again and again (at least twice), he still vouches for me and eagerly tries to put in good words for me.
Deciding to leave F&B and join Sales was already a very hard decision, furthermore knowing that Mirko had actually spoke to HM about me transferring department because he wanted me to work for him so badly, made me feel even worse. What better feeling can one get than having your boss appreciate you more than anything else? Its an honour, to have your bosses appreciate you and fight for all your rights.
When Giovanni left a few months back, it was already one round of sorrow and tears. I know people come and go, but they've been really nice to me all these while that I feel so indebted to them. I still find it a pity that I didn't to bid farewell to Giovanni officially. I hope he's doing well somewhere now.
And coming back on a Monday morning to see that even Mirko has left, it suddenly feels like there's no meaning for me to stay in Shang anymore. And I question myself, is he the one who keeps me staying in Shang?
I first heard that he is transferring to Taiwan and his last day would be in mid August, so I was expecting to see him after my leave and was planning to get him a farewell gift too. Had thoughts to buy him a pair of cuff-links which I have never bought for anyone before because that's how important he is to me. And I can't believe he just left like that. I was so heartbroken today that I wasn't myself at work.
Now heartbroken is definitely the right word to use in case anyone out there thinks I'm crazily in love with my boss. When you meet someone nice, you remember them for life. Especially if he gives you chances and chances to prove yourself, despite you disappointing him over and over again.
I'm feeling all the more upset because I know deep inside that we won't ever see each other again. Who am I to keep in contact with him? He may not even remember me. But I strongly believe it remembering everyone that has helped you in your life along the way. Mirko is one of them.
