As the title reads - 'Mixed Emotions' is what I'm currently experiencing. I'm working in my current company since four years. I along with my six friends joined the company straight after college. The entire corporate culture was totally new to me.
After two months of joining, I received an email from one of the new friends that he is leaving the current company for a different company. I was shocked to know that he is quitting the company. It was quite a shock to me to know that people quit companies to join other companies.
Few months passed by, few more left, many more joined. I was used to people leaving and joining the company. Two years passed by, I made new friends, old friends became even more close friends. I got involved in different projects and was least worried on strangers leaving the company.
Four years passed and all of a sudden, for the past six months, close to eight of my friends planned to quit the company. I'm happy that they got new offers, better prospects and a new experience. even though I'm happy for them, I'm sad at the same time. I can no longer see my friends in the same company.
Being very emotional, I feel bad that I'm losing such good friends. Oh God, please give me strength and my best wishes to my friends.
The guy who taught me table tennis, who used to tease me, the one with whom I shared most of the jokes - he is leaving the current company. Idiot fellow - God bless him.
This too shall pass :)
