I gotta take my hat off the veterans.
1) They can stay in the same job/company for like 10+, 20+ years?
(okay, maybe in the early years, economic situation wasn’t so good, job hopping was never heard of..just how did they put up with all the **** work??)
2) They tend to see the brighter side of things… demanding counterparts/bosses, they just brush it off their shoulders
(perhaps for all their years in the organization, they seen all kinds of cases/people..basically, nothing is new to them?)
3) They are treasure troves with all their wealth of experience
(speaking of which, I’ve always wondered, how we ever going to cope without their knowledge? Where is the succession plan???)
I love hearing them relate their experiences and lunch sessions with them are things I always look forward to.
I’m going to miss this bunch of people
