This past summer, Jacqueline Saenz received a group farewell eCard using Kudoboard from her colleagues and friends at IBM to say goodbye and let her know that she would be missed. A quote from one colleague, Marv, reads as follows:
“Ahh, I don’t even know where to start. I am definitely writing this with a heavy heart.
You were my first EVER boss.
You were my first EVER career mentor.
You were the first person to get me on a boat…eventually (Inside joke)!
You were the first person at IBM to welcome me, and then pick on me for wearing a suit
You were also the first and ONLY person to take me to Freebirds..again and again haha………and again hahaha
You were the first person to give me a chance to display my talents.
You were the first person to show me that sugar gets you more than salt.
You were the first to show me a lot of things in my life, and I just hope this isn’t the first time I told you just how much I appreciated every FIRST we had!!
I’m going to miss the hell out of you being my first manager, but I’m happy I got a friend for life.”
Here is another quote:
“Jacqueline, There aren’t words enough to thank you for all you have given to us. You have been mentor, muse, protective mama bear, inspiration, editor, voice of reason, shoulder-to-cry-on and friend. We will miss you every day, but please know that we are all better IBMers and better people for having worked for you. Don’t be a stranger! Your Always-On Newsroom team”
