Dear Ex..

Dear Ex-employer,

Just yesterday, I ended our 5.5+ year relationship. A relationship that started in the US and finished its course in India. And with that, I wanted to thank you for your collaboration and support.

Here are some good things that happened during our time together..

• Met and made some friends who have become so close that they are above "friends" now (you know who you are).
• Even though the first project separated K and I location-wise, the second one more than made up for it (longer project).
• The 2 big projects added up some terrific work experiences - challenging and interesting - at both projects and hopefully made a lasting impression at both customer locations (I know some of the client colleagues miss me & I miss working with them and their warmth and camaraderie were beautiful).
• You sent me back to the US after the first debacle into a role that was never done before by me but which now has become the basis for my current role, so Thank You.
• Saved some money ($$) that has come in very handy in India for the house renovation project.
• Sent me to - of all the places - Europe. Best lonely trip ever!! (sorry K).
• Allowed me to work from home in Mumbai (that was one heck of an allowance and one that was totally unexpected but whole-heartedly welcome).
• The exit was prolonged but smooth and while some lingering items remain, they don't pose a threat.

And now for some BAD things that happened and 100% coulda-shoulda-woulda been avoided at all costs..
