Miss You Boss! :(

It was somewhere in May, 2010. It’s been 3 months only I came back from Cyprus. I just joined Hotel Sarina. Then I got a call from Hotel Sheraton to attend a written test. So I passed that test and went for viva. There I met Ms. Poly Rahman, Ms. Saiqa Mazid, and Mr. Mahfuz Rahman. Mr. Mahfuz Rahman asked most of the questions, Ms. Saiqa Mazid asked some. But Ms. Poly Rahman didn’t ask me anything, she was only sitting there with a smiley face! Then I didn’t know her name or designation. I was only wondering who is that lady looks like Shabana Azmi, and why she is not asking me anything.

So after viva and medical test, I joined Sheraton and discovered that lady (Shabana Azmi) is my boss, Front Office Manager, and her name is Poly Rahman.  She is one of those people whom you meet for the first time, but feels like known each-other for years! I was really happy to get her as my boss!

I worked there in Sheraton nearly for a year (11 months), and there was not a single moment when she was not there for me (given the fact of dirty politics in Sheraton, Dhaka, and my brutal honesty). She was there for me as a leader, a mentor, a guide, an elder sister, a friend! I didn’t get the job by anyone’s favor, but if she was not guiding me there through all those months, it was not possible for me to work there; even it’s for a day!

So later on I left that Sheraton job, and joined my current job. But I was very much in touch with her. When I was leaving Sheraton, she gave me two very precious advices.

1.       Change your mask, not your judgment.

2.       Do not open your mouth for atleast for 3 months, only listen, listen and listen.

And trust me, these words changed my life! I was never been as diplomat as now (Lol! Ofcourse in a positive way).

In the mean time I visited Sheraton for 2/3 times. But I met my dear boss for only once. Then it was Christmas when my boss invited me for a cake. So I went there, had cake and a little chit-chat. But she was really busy with all the stuffs going on that day.

So right after New Year, she left that job, and today she is leaving for another country to join her new job! I’m really very happy for her and wish her all the best. But then again, I’m going to miss her so much! It’s not that we talk every day, but whenever I was down in my profession, or needed to talk to any1, for suggestion or advice I knew that she was there for me! She was like my support system in this country! Can’t believe she is leaving today!
