Farewell

It was a sudden surprise. Although I've already heard the news yesterday it was confirmed by our CCC Manager, Dexter Clemente that he is resigning. He is resigning not because the company is in a not so good condition but because of a very personal matter.  He said his mother who is sick requested for him to stop working and spend more quality time with her.  He's been working for decade now and spending some of his time with his mom would not be a waste of time. He doesn't want to regret in the future if he declined his mother's request.  Without his knowledge her mom sold a property so that he will not be able to reason out the need of money in giving up his career.  

This is really a sad farewell. Although he said it would not be immediate because he would be part of the screening process of getting a replacement, still the thought of him leaving saddened the people in CCC.  We are of the same batch and he is with the company for a year now.  He made a lot of changes within the company and to the lives of people in the office.  He is not just a good manager but also a good friend to most of the people.  I think he might still be with the company until July.  I would be on my maternity leave this end of June so I will not be able to witness his last days in the office.

His reason is heart touching.  I am really amazed with his decision of giving up his career for the sake of him mom.  It was really tough but I know he would not regret it.  Just like what he said, he can still look for another career but he cannot look for another mom. To you Dex, I salute you, you've inspired a lot of people to value their work and most of all inspired us to value our loved ones as well.  God Bless You!
