Well just today, in the morning, i see one of my friend in the office cry. When i ask her, she said that her friend will resign from the office. Her Friend got a better job and decide to take that chance. My friend feel a big loss because she feel loose one of her best friend. But she also happy because her friend can make a better life.

For me, although i am sad if one of my workmate resign, but i actually never cry for them. I know they will have a better life, also, since all of my friend that are resign from the office actually resigned because they have found a better job, it's another reason for me not to cry. I always think, that friendship is bigger than workplace, so i can still connect to my friend even if we now work for a different company. In with current technology and social network site, it become more easier to keep connected.

How about you? Do you feel sad that you have to cry, do you feel sad but not crying, or it is not affected you at all.

Thanks for responding.

When I was working then there were two girls who came for a pupillage in the company and they were given tables and chair in my office only so we used to chat all day and make jokes and narrate all types of stories but then after some six months they had to go back to their universities and we really cried a lot together because we were very good friends. So yes I cried.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

O i see, well yes, six month is quite a long time, and i think in that six month you can be a really good friend. Anyway, do you still connected with your friedn there. Did they still work there? Where are you working now? Thanks for responding this discussion.

As of today, I have not cried because of a friend resigning from the office due to a better job outside of the workplace. However, it is understandable for someone who had a close friend who will be leaving. Leaving and saying goodbye is one of the most difficult moment to be in. It's difficult when someone close to your heart will be leaving because of something. I think that I will also cry when a close friend will leave me. That cry will be a cry of joy and a cry of sadness. Joy because that friend will be in a better state, and sadness because I will not be with him or her.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Well yeah, i think you are right. Most people will feel sad and joy at the same time if her / his best friend will leaving and they will said good bye. But it never happened to me where i feel that feeling that i want to cry. Anyway, do gender really play a part here, because all my friend that ever cry because a freind was resign is only girl, boys don't do that? Do you think so?


myLot reputation of 93/100. learn2earn (16962)   ranked 64 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Ladies are more emotional than men. They show their emotion by crying. Men doesn't do that because they are designed that way.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Well i think it is more because of the culture instead of biological factor. Men know that cry show weakness and it is only for woman, so that is why they rarely cry. I think culture in the old days, especially in asia, crying is not something that show weakness. If i read a lot of historical novel book, i meet many people that really easy to cry ( Romance of three kingdom is one of them ).

myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

o i see, well can you tell more about the story. About how you said good bye to your friend, about your friend reaction when they know that you will be leaving from the office. Also, did you still get connected to them, do you still met them, or at least do you still chat with them. Thanks.

i feel sad easily, my tears will down. even if it was not my best mate, that usually happens to me. but i think it would be better for her too to chase her dreams.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Well yes, you might a person that really sensitive so you can easily cry. But well, it is still a good thing since it will show your friend that you really care about him / her. Anyway, thanks for responding to this discussion. I hope you stil connected with your friend until now.

I never cried when a colleague resigned. As you say, they are heading for a better job, and a better life. It's a time to rejoyce. We should be happy for them.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Yes, although it is not make us cry, but i do feel sad because our office will not be as fun as before since once of our best friend is gone. But still, they will have a better life, and since it is easy to keep comunication with current technology, we will not loose them.

I have never cried when an officemate resigns but i feel a sense of loss. In our professional lives it can't be helped for people look for ways on how to improve themselves and find new opportunities. What's important is never to burn bridges. With Facebook and other social networking sites, it's now so easy to keep up. Before, when former colleagues resign and decide to work over seas, all communications just stopped. Now with facebook around, you can even chat with them for free.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Yes, i agree with you. Never to burn a bridge that connect us to our friend. Even if our profesional relation ship as an office mateis over, but there is no rules that said we should also ending our friendship. So like you said, with current technologies it is easy to keep connected with them. Thanks for sharing your opinion with us.

it depends on how close you are with your office-mate. if your are too close like as best-friend then you have reason to cry. but if you are only friend and treated as normal office-mate, you feel sad because you miss her/him for the time of being together, sharing works.. it can make you missing up..


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Well i don't think if i really close, and can called him / her as a best friend, i don't think i will cry either. I don't know, it just not my habit to cry. But i do feel sad, if that happened. I have a lot of friend that are resigned from my office, two of them is my best friend. Thanks

For me, I will not cry but surely i will be sad and lonely specially the one who is resigning is my close friend but in parallel, I'll be happy for them if they'd found a better job. And i think, I will feel sad at first but still we can continue communicating and maybe he can refer me on his new found job hehe. So, if someonee will leave, I will feel sad, happy and I will give them best wishes. HAppy mylotting.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Yes, i think i almost the same with you. I am sad at first, but since it is actually the best thing for her / him, and with him / her go to that company, actually it also make an oppurtunity for me if some day that need some new employee or if my company have a bussiness with his company. Thanks

you are right, friendship is bigger than workplace so she can always connect with her bestfriend/ex-officemate. with the technology right now, it's so easy to get in touch with friends even you are miles apart. so there's not reason to be sad, she should just be happy that her friend will have new opportunity.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Yes, you are right. Although we might feel sad at first, but with time, all will heal, and it will heal fast if in the end, we still get in touch with him / her trough phone, facebook, chatting and many other tools. Now with current technology, we can almost get connected with every on, any time.

Depends on how to express the emotion of different people, maybe female would be more easier to cry in this situation.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordcaocao2025 (825)   ranked 967 out of 12,084 in friend  2 years ago

Yes, the culture right now make woman more easy to cry than man. Although some woman is not easy to cry, and some man really easy to cry, but overall it is like that. It all depend on how people look at what happened and about how close they're friendship is and how far the friend will go.
