The Cat Is Out Of The Bag

I received a call from the owner today. Dato' called me as he had heard some disturbing news from his VP of Human Resources. As a policy... senior management have to be interviewed on exit so I did have a chat with the VP of HR and I did tell her how disgusted I felt with the accusation.

Dato' says he heard I was disappointed with the way I was treated. He said he called as he wanted to know what was happening. He says he never made any accusations. He was angry that he did not get the report as it shows that the system had failed and when the system fails people need to be held accountable which includes my boss. He says he was disappointed that I wanted to move on elsewhere but he accepts it and he would like to keep an avenue for me to return. He asked me who made the accusation? I told him it was my boss who spoke to me but he never cited anyone's name. I thanked Dato' for the clarification and also told him I would have still gone to see him  to say thank you and goodbye regardless of what happened. He ended the conversation by saying he did not make that accusation and that I am welcome to come back if I need to. I thanked him for everything.

I will make a trip to his office before I leave to Langkawi.

So, now... Wow! again... I can understand my boss' frustration and disappointment for me leaving as I was one of his hopefuls but to let me leave in anger thinking that the company had accused me of such misdeeds is just too much. Way too much. Geesh... I don't know what to think anymore. I'm just glad I am moving on.
