Today marks the day whereby my "first" subordinate under me quit her job. As a friend, I'm happy for her to find something different because I knew that she is not suitable for the job scope. Being her boss was difficult frankly because every time when something bad happen, i will always have to think of many ways to report "positively" or follow up closely with her on the emails. It's probably a good for both me and her when she decide to quit. But, in some part of me, I still felt the tinge sense of sadness. Probably i put in so many effort in teaching her and "looking after" her but yet in the end I didn't expect that she will tender resignation yet so fast. Probably a sense of disappointment on myself too?

Perhaps.
