Fabulista Voices: My Friend Decides to Leave.

As the decision to leave was made, Sue remembers the first greeting - since you are new, you can’t possibly perform better than the others. Right?

Is there any other way to respond to this question without sounding boastful or defensive? There might be. But Sue is not that smart, yet…

So Sue decided to leave the place that neither recognizes nor rewards efforts. All they tell you is:

• So and so is singing your praises.
• Keep it up!
• Good job.
• You are right.

But bottom-line is, when you actually do something out of your jurisdiction, they tell you that it’s what you should have done all along.

Sue got sick and tired of the SNAFU and finally decided to leave. A new place might not be heaven on earth, but anything is better than what is happening now. In any case, the new place might actually be closer to home than the current one now – it eats into the bank account just based on traveling fares alone.

Sue is leaving. Sue knows when one is too good for a place. Sue is smart like that. Don’t tell Sue about a good job performance – save the translation into other more tangible means. Positions? Promotions? Monetary? These are media and languages that Sue is very familiar with.

Sue speaks and feels just like anyone else.
