I saw tears in his eyes.
He was my manager in my previous company. An introvert who was brilliant but reticent. He always spoke less in meetings. No bragging, no making noise.
He had joined the company as an intern but soon earned enough name and fame due to his outstanding performance. After a few years, he was promoted as a manager.
He was a very kind person and in a short time, we became lunch partners. Though we used to have fun, I had huge respect for him.
After working in the same domain for many years, He wanted to explore a new profile, hence he applied for another department. He was shortlisted and happily joined there.
Still, we used to have our lunch together. After a few weeks, he started feeling uncomfortable. He found a lot of politics there. He tried hard to mingle with people, but no one was ready to accept him.
People were not ready to give know-how and expected him to finish work on time.
He kept his points in front of management, but no result.
He felt low and dejected.
And suddenly, one day he got a mail of getting fired.
I couldn’t have eye contact with him when he told me about his home loan and wife’s pregnancy.
He left the job.
But sometimes, a few things happen for good. After 2–3 months, he was placed in a reputed MNC with a better position and package. The company keeps sending him abroad.
I see that happy face on Facebook. It really feels good.
My mom is right. She says, sooner or later, good people receive good things.
Thank you for reading.
Stay Calm!
