That’s what A said, when I told him.
Still, after lunch it was as if I couldn’t quite stomach what had just been told to me and my mind was drifting off restlessly to some foreign place while my fingers and eyes were doing the charting for the report on autopilot, literally.
I really like my company. I love my colleagues. It may sound corny and overzealous, but I really mean it. The 6 months that I’ve spent here I’ve not seen a single person blow his or her top, engage in some major quarrel/catfight with anyone else, nor backstab someone. Everyone here is genuinely nice. My boss, of course, is the nicest of them all, and the primary reason why I’m working here (the secondary being, it’s only been 6 months, I’ve just started to learn the ropes and I’m not sure if I like/dislike this line yet, so I want to give myself a chance, and more time)
We only have 7 people, but 3 of us are leaving- my line manager, who’s leaving because of his family situation (his wife stopped working due to complications from pregnancy and now his rich in-laws want them to shift back home(China) because his pay alone can’t quite support them both and the 4 room flat), my batch mate and fellow newbie, B, whom I went to London to train with, she’s leaving because she couldn't quite cope well, and the job line doesn’t suit her as she wants to do something more counseling/psychology-related, and then there’s the office manager. She’s leaving because of some things that are less positive but that’s got nothing to do with her relationship with me, and she’s a fantastic person….

we'll be hiring new people, and there aren't that many projects on hand at the moment, workload is manageable,
It’s just…
I can’t take it when people just suddenly say they’re leaving.
You can’t do this you know, enter a person’s life, get to know them, gain their trust, become an irreplaceable existence in their day-to-day living, have them get used to you being there, and then just abruptly say goodbye.
It doesn’t work this way. I mean, in real life it does, but,
Not in my books, it doesn’t.
I’m sorry, I just don’t take well to people leaving,
Especially if they are a meaningful existence to me.
