When your best friend at work leaves organization


And finally the day came when my workplace suddenly seems to be so lonely, calm and empty (for me). Last Friday, one of my best friend left Infosys. Its not that I do not have good friends in Infosys, but at this client location, he was the only one.

We had conquered many battles (releases in IT language) together in last 10 years in Infy. From last 5 months (day I came at my current location) we both had enjoyed our day at work even under tremendous pressure.

Today, suddenly I feel that I am all alone. Suddenly I don’t find anyone with who I can argue on almost every topics. Suddenly I feel like empty. I feel like this is just a *work* place and I need to get out of here as soon as I am finished with my work every day. Suddenly I feel to move to locations where I have good friends. Although the moment I came to know about his decision, I knew that this would happen, but the fact is right now I am feeling so sad and gloomy at my workplace which I have never witnessed before.

I remember first day of my college and first day of Infosys when I as all alone but very enthusiastic about new place and making new friends. I made very good friends who became part of my social life. Every time at every work place I had good friends so this situation is little odd for me.

On positive note, probably current vacuum will be filed with new friends, new joy and new experience as time goes. Probably life will find its own way and I will start enjoying my work place again.
