The Teamster

It was my managers last day at work today. He had joined us in the restauarant in late September and came in at a time when things weren't running so smoothly.

Things didn't seem to get any better as the company were being a bit tight with labour costs and instead of turning things around things went from bad to worse.

I feel like I am betraying him as he had always helped me when I had a few things to deal with and always listened to my rants about how things could run smoothly in there.

In the final exchange between both of us we shook hands and he told me I was a 'legend' in there. He had also put this recognition thing on the board outside the office saying how I was a good team player and a pleasure to work with.

The recognition may not mean much to anyone else but it means a lot to me because in the last few years I lost a lot of confidence in myself when I was battling anxiety and stress and little things like the recognition card allows me to see that deep down inside me I am still the same person I once was.

Somewhere.
