I had my last day after almost 11 years at my “old” job today. Although I was working 100% remotely (I have been for the last two months), when I got to the office today to leave all my things (and to take many others), there were plenty of coworkers that decided to keep going to the office instead of being remote. And also my former boss...
Even if I usually get to handle this kind of situations pretty well, I must say it was hard. I got really nervous. It’s weird; I already quit. What could go wrong?! Stupid anxiety.
I showed up with pastries and beverages for everyone. I left all my stuff at HR, and then I had a 30min conversation with my boss. I had resigned via Zoom with all the directors two weeks ago, but the face-to-face stance was pending. Luckily it went very well kind words, politeness, and best wishes.
Then came the goodbyes with all those who were there. Someone plaid Dust in the wind just for the lolz. I feel like the penny didn’t drop yet. It’s been too many years. I guess i’m going to be hit little by little. Anyway, next week: no working! Yay!
