An Accolade

One of few rare breed of employees for whom I would not hesitate to give an unqualified endorsement or recommendation.

That’s an excerpt from an extemporaneous speech I made today in recognition of an employee in my department who will be leaving the company to become a full-time mom to her two lovely girls. Having worked with her for the last fifteen years, she will indeed be missed as she leaves a void that’s tough to fill.

Perhaps more that she realizes, I have learned a lot from her over the years. Her work ethic is beyond compare, her efficiency is consistent, and her meticulousness is unmatchable. To me, she is more than the ideal employee. Any firm would be fortunate to have her as part of its workforce.

So long Shamela.
