With the help of the interviewing team, Sam evaluated candidates. At the end of three weeks, the best fit was clear. Sam made an offer to the top candidate, Brian. Sam and Patty continued to work on resolving the issues with the Database group so the new manager didn’t walk into a mess.
Two weeks after receiving the offer, Brian started.
Patty walked to her car at the end of Brian’s first day. She was exhausted, relieved, and just a little sad. I didn’t expect Brian’s first day to be so hard on me. I’m happy I’m back to being a database architect, but it was starting to be fun working with Ginger, Kevin, and Jason as part of the management team. I’m going to miss that. Saying goodbye to that management team was hard.
