An Adieu to our team

An Adieu to all my Friends :  , who are always part of my Team !!

Yes, it's time to say Adieu and may you all have pleasant memories of me.  Our times together were good and at times we disagreed, but I leave you all with a fond memories. Each and every one of you from Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto . Windsor, London, Calgary, Edmonton, and across into Vancouver. Yeah, you former MWTS folks, I still love you all. :)-

Business decisions are, at times, cruel !! But- it has to be made by someone, somewhere. I don't hold anyone accountable or responsible for being "let go". All I know that over the last 5 years, we the team in Canada, built a healthy and conducive business. We learned, we grow and we WERE THE BEST !!. Yeah, we  topped the world over, in terms of profit margins for Customs Brokerage Professional services.  (Yes,  our Executives can confirm that fact !!)   Albeit, with the Merger and Acquisition being followed in by an F50 company, times become turbulent. The day I finished integration efforts and handover, I asked myself , "do I have a job ?" -  I echo that question today , once over .

Having walked a path and having done the best I could, fate has brought me to the cross roads. It is time to say goodbye, to all my friends. I had a hecka ride with you for the last 5 years, and if fortune ever permits, I'll do it once over with you all.  I won't hesitate for second !!!

You all are a good bunch of people, so don't let anyone or anything  undermine your spirit's or your integrity, for this is your true worth.

I take with me, your true worth as fond memories !!

Update : Breaking News : My Boss (Kim C) joins me in saying Adieu to you all too !!!!!!! :)- One of the most brilliant minds and visionary leaders in the industry was let go a soon after I was walked out !!! Just shows, the caliber of the people who are "running the show"  !!

Our time together was brief and although I cannot at this time make heads nor tails of decisions made, rest easy that the universe has provided a door for you to walk through....."Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." Goethe

Rick, thats a wonderful quote, thanks for sharing !! Your correct, nobody can make heads or tails on this round.

========================
Peter,
I’m sorry about what happened. I couldn’t believe it when I got the call last night. You guys were blindsided, as was everyone here by the news. I know this sucks but I KNOW that you’ll land on your feet. You are the most intelligent, and forward thinking person I’ve ever met. UPS has lost a great asset in you, and what ever organization you decide to go to will be lucky to have you. I know that hearing this doesn’t help you feel any better and I wish there was something that I could say but unfortunately at this exact moment I’m sure nothing will help. But just know that you will be sadly missed!!!!

My concern is that this could put a damper on your upcoming trip. Peter, don’t let them do that to you. Go on this trip and enjoy every moment. You deserve it for all the hard work you’ve done. Come back fresh and determined and start the year anew. Take lots of pics and send them our way. Please keep in touch Peter!!!!

Peter:
I came in the office this morning to "The News". I am shocked and saddened to see you go - where did this come from? I will miss your smiling face and especially your sense of humor, but Peter, as weird as this sounds - right now, I think UPS just did you a favour. You have a brilliant mind, and I know that only good things will come out of this. I am glad that you are going to be away - see your family. It will give you "fresh eyes" to re-think what you want to do - to accomplish in your life. Fill that journal I gave you with your thoughts. I hope you will keep in touch - I would love to celebrate all your success that I know will be coming your way. I know we were all planning lunch tomorrow, but that is up to you if you still have time - we could all come to you? If not, have a wonderful holiday.
Namaste!!!

Peter, I just wanted to say that I am sorry to hear what happened to you. But it is most certainly not the end of the world. Look at me. I spent 27 years working for the company, only to be put in a position where I felt betrayed. My honor and spirit were broken. But I have healed and I know you will too.

Christmas is just around the corner and Tis the season to be jolly. So....be jolly. There's something much better out there for you.

Drop me line now and then. I would love to hear from you.

Cindy

P.S. You really should make amends, for I too am one of those girls you made cry.
