Feeling sad and pensive.
My ‘work husband’ quit a couple weeks ago and, now that he’s finished his exit interview with HR, they’ve taken his badge and escorted him out of the building a few minutes ago.
We been through a lot over the years. He’s really the only one that I would call a friend here and we’ve always looked out for each other.
This place is a soul crushing machine. He’s moving on to something way better for his health and career. I’m genuinely happy for and not in the least resentful.
Enjoy the moments while they last, folks.
So tell me about your work buddies. Any silly memories to share?
Can’t say that I didn’t consider it. He actually got his foot in because another co-worker of ours quit a couple months ago and started working there. But… it would mean a career pivot into something I wouldn’t happy with. I’m surprised he went that direction, but it’s something he’s been gaining experience in and the other company has much healthier dynamic.
