Well, my fella is feeling old now. I hope that on most days,
it doesn’t get to him but I know on some days it does. This year he reached
retirement age officially. Of course he’s not going to retire right now though.
The biggest reason is because I told him he couldn’t. No way is he gonna sit
around on his butt for 10 years waiting for me to retire! The other reason is,
I know that he needs something to do and I’m pretty sure that he’s not ready to
quit just yet. He was worried about how his employer feels about him though. It
turned out to be OK for him! They asked him if he was going to retire and he
said he would like to wait for a few more years. They were happy with that and
asked him if would be interested in a lighter work load. He took a couple days to think about it. I thought it was awesome that they want to keep him AND make it easier for him! He said he didn't really know how to feel about their offer. After a couple days, he saw the light :-) So, starting next
week, they are moving him to the corporate offices. They said he has such great
customer service skills he’ll be perfect over there and they are looking forward
to having him. Go figure! The property
manager of the 2 buildings he takes care of right now, sent out this nice email
to all the current tenants;
It is with mixed emotions that I inform you that our lead
Maintenance/HVAC tech, Bill XXXX,
has decided to take a maintenance tech support position at our Corporate
Parkwood campus. Bill's decision was
based on the fact he is nearing
retirement and would like to ease the workload required by our lead
technicians. I know I speak for many,
including myself, when I say Bill's positive attitude and willingness to please
will be missed.
Bill's last day at Parkwood 8 & 9 will be this
Friday, August 29. I am excited to
announce his replacement will be Steve Davenport, who will be starting on
Tuesday, September 2nd. Steve has been a
Maintenance technician for thirteen years with extensive experience in both
medical and Class A office buildings.
Bill will be escorting Steve around the remainder of the
week for tenant introductions. Please
join me in wishing Bill good luck on his future endeavors while also welcoming
Steve to the buildings.
Regards,
That was really nice and it made him feel pretty good.
