They really don't grow on trees

    Someone wise once told me to never take a job because of a manager. And never leave a job because of a manager. Because nothing good lasts for ever, and nothing bad lasts for ever. And as of two days ago, I was forced with the one of these. My good manager is moving on. And I can't be more upset about it

    It's been a good three years. We've been through thick and thin. Went through a lot of cycles, releases and issues and fights and we always stuck together.

    I can't remember how many times we both stuck our necks for each other, until we got to a point where we really learned each other's styles and grew to trust one another to the point that we felt relaxed working together

    Well, as I've grown to know, good people will never last in the same job. They'll always be poached by other sources and it's just a matter of time when one opportunity will be too great to pass-by and people go after it.

    So the original thought proved itself once again. If you're in a job because of a person, then you're there for the wrong cause. If you decide to leave a job because of a person, then you're leaving for the wrong reason as well.

    Well, I'm going to miss John, he's such an athlete, we worked hard, played hard and partied hard. Off work he enjoyed mountain climbing and last year he climbed mount McKinley in Alaska (the same location where the Jordanian twin have their training camp), he also plans to climb Kilimanjaro and maybe in the future, Everest. For a computer dude, that's quite an achievement

    Alright, that was my low-light for the day, and who knows maybe there's something good in it for both of us. But, I will sure miss working with someone that understands me and just lets me do what I want the way I want it and feel completely free and empowered to excel in what I do best!

    Good luck John!

    aw!! well you will still be freinds outside work and who knows maybe the new manager will be as nice:)
    i took my job because of my manager and I regret that now cuz I am thinking of leaving my job now and I just don't have the guts to leave such a nice person but I have to move on !!

    u r totaly right !
    Salam,
    Thanks :) Yeah. Been there before. But seriously good managers are a rare commodity these days. They're either good upward or downward, it's really hard to find one that is good both ways.

    Secratea,
    Thanks :), are you related to Secratea Samsung?

    Rebellious Arab Girl,
    Yeah, I know. Everyone needs to look after their own. We really should always understand that

    Hamede,
    Sounds like you've been there before

    Sam,
    Yeah, I'm sure we'll stay friends outside of work, he's a great guy and really talented and nice :)

    Simsim,
    Well, you live and you learn. Managers, and people never stay the same. And if we focus on doing our job to the best that we can, we'll always be on the good side.
    You really need to worry about your career, no one else will. That's a very important thing that everyone needs to understand that no matter how much your manager is great, there will be a time where he will be helpless or will just move on. That's why you need to be at the top of your game and just manage to succeed on your own
    Don't ever leave work for a person, or take work for a person.
    Ya in my case he retired.
