Many of you already know about this... but now directly from the donkey's mouth...
Feb 28th will be my last in Persistent as an employee. I will continue to work with the same teams @ Persistent as an independent consultant. I will be very much in Pune and continue to sit at the same place. So nothing much changes for the most part for most people, especially for Rakesh's teams. Just that i wont get to the do the bossgiri which i am so used to.
I had one heck of a stay in Persistent. Persistent gave me a chance do to whatever i wanted to do and most importantly do it my way. I worked with some great people and great clients, and i owe a lot to Persistent!
Ten years is a long time, and this has been a hard decision to make. Though I should say i have never bothered to "think through" my decisions. You always get to know whether a decision is right or wrong only in retrospect. So what the heck!
Jai Ho!
Even we are so fond of the Bossgiri that it will hurt not seeing you do that. You are the best ever possible Boss to work with and the person to seek guidance from.
ReplyDeleteYou can still do bossgiri now as our client..infact more than what what you could do before;)But this raises lot of questions in our minds..who will approve our requests..who will we report to..who will guide us and answer our every single silly doubt..many more..hope to get answers to this soon...
ReplyDeleteBut as you said, we will welcome the change and look forward to work with another Rakesh:)
BOSS THE CLIENT,
ReplyDeleteBoss as you know we always liked your Bossgiri and ready for your role as Clientgiri :)...will surely face problems with Approvals and other clearances :)
You are our driving force in all types of activities (good and bad :) both )....hope you continue giving your valuable tips.....
Yes Boss,
ReplyDeleteThough you are our boss no more, officially, please continue your bossgiri on us. We're used to it now.:)
Always keep guiding and inspiring us.
> You always get to know whether a decision is right or wrong only in retrospect.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Sometimes one has to take the 'leap of faith'. I read somewhere that when one feels like everything's OK, and the life's in a 'cruise control' mode...it actually means that something needs to change.
Congrats on being strong enough to take a stand!
