It was so unexpected. I thought I still had a week left. But then a brief and unbelievable conversation ended my 64-month tenure. Who says life is fair? My first day at Convergys was a Thursday. It was April 15, 2004. Who would've thought my last day will also be on a Thursday? Anyway... Here's the last email that I sent to let everyone know that I was leaving..
It was a good 5 years overall. There were a lot of good times to look back on. There were also a lot of bumps and bruises. But I am thankful for the experience and the friends I have gained. Convergys will forever be part of my life. I believe I was able to contribute to its growth , as much as I have become a better HR professional, through the years. I also hope that I was able to touch the lives of as many people as I could.
But sadly, times could really get so tough. And with my experience these past few months, it taught me some lessons that I would forever remember.
1. People judge by perception. You don't have to explain yourself to people who like you; but to those who don't, no matter what you say and do, they will never listen and care.
2. You will only know your true friends when you are faced with a very difficult situation.
3. If it doesn't work the first time, try again. If it still doesn't work, QUIT. Do not wait, just quit and move on.
4. Trust your instincts.
5. There are still a lot of people who, even if they are not always visible, care for you and love you, and you will miss them and they will miss you when you're gone. And it doesn't have to end there. Thanks to facebook! :-)
I wanted to take a moment to let you know that today is my last day at Convergys.
The last five years has been quite a journey. I was a witness to the tremendous growth of Convergys and the HR team: people who have come and gone, people who stayed, process improvements, manual to online, new policies and systems, etc. Through the years, I have learned a lot of things and have been acquainted with wonderful people who have helped me grow as a professional and as a person.
Yet difficult decisions have to be made in certain circumstances. New journeys have to be taken as we seek what we truly need. Personal endeavors would sometimes call for us to move on.
With this, let me express my heartfelt appreciation for all the support, understanding and friendship that you have generously given me. I hope that the positive associations I have made in this organization will not end with my tenure.
My very best wishes for the future go out to each and every one of you.
All the best to the CPS HR Team and Convergys :-)
