Goodbye friend

I am having mixed emotions right now. I'm happy that we received our thirteen month pay last week but also sad. Thirteen month pay makes me happy and sad. Happy because I'll have extra money and sad because it's time to say goodbye.

It's time to say goodbye to your friend. Just like past years some are just waiting for the 13 month and then submit their resignation letter. Last Monday, our friend submitted her resignation already. It's not new since every December most of the employees we're resigning. But it's still difficult since you were together for how many months.

Last year, our manager resigned after receiving her thirteen month pay. Reason? The management. Our boss is rude if they don't like you. There are times when our manager cry because of him. And just like the other employees, she stopped proving herself. Everything was fine even if she's gone.

Until covid-19 came and we're on a lockdown. Our supervisors are doing good when they came back after lockdown. And then, one of our supervisor made a mistake. The boss became rude to her after that. Saying mean things. That's when she also stopped proving her worth in this company. She also submitted her resignation letter. Since, the two supervisors are best friend the other one also submitted her resignation letter.

We struggle when they resign. Then they hired new supervisor and manager. They're also a good tandem. But after a month the new supervisor resigned also and a new widowed supervisor came. She is strict as in super strict with an unpleasant tone when talking. Then our manager rely on her all the decisions and soon he also become like her. Or maybe he was really like that from the very start.

Then our work became hard. He add more documents needed and job to do. He shouts when he is mad and my colleague cries all the time. And now, we're losing a friend. We already lost some because of covid-19. The company retrenched some of the employees. I don't know if we're lucky that we ate still at this company or unlucky because we are still at this company. We are doing the job of the retrenched but our salary is still the same.

My colleague already submitted her resignation and just waiting to finish her 30 days turn over. Again, we nees to say goodbye to a friend and wish her luck. It's hard to say goodbye. We will miss her. We might not like each other always but still we've been together. We have lots of memories together that's why it hurts us more but we need to support her decision if she's not happy anymore.

See you around.
