Goodbye and Good Luck

He did not know how to start. He had being working for almost 5 years in that company. One of the largest companies in the country. He had a good relationship with everyone. The problem was that this company at that stage did not provide opportunities for career advancement. Finally, just like that, he we went into his boss’ office and told him. His boss immediately offered him a significant increase in his salary in order to stay. Our hero, although flattered, could not accept it. We had given his word. His boss did not like it, but he seemed to understand. It sounded like a great opportunity for him, so he did not want to be an obstacle for his development. He wished him the best. Our hero gave a month notice. On his last day the company organized a big party for him. Everybody was there in order to say goodbye and wish good luck. Even the Chairman of the board, one of the most important businessmen in the country. Extremely emotional moments that he would never forget. A benchmark had been set...
