Last night I attended my good friend and honorable executive assistant Gary’s farewell party. It was a lovely party.
After 20-plus years at a major UK bank, he has decided not to hide from “the big corporate desk” and seek the public by working for a major UK department store John Lewis. He wants to explore a different career in retail sales servicing the public.
Instead of having the flexibility of a condensed work-week of 4 days and working from home, he will have to work 6 days a week including the weekend and the Boxing day!
I congratulate and admire Gary on his great courage to take such a bold step. Best of luck Gary!
I promised him to drop by and test him on his customer skills by simply being myself (a demanding person).
