Conversation with my brother via IM today:
brother: Who’s [insert old boss name here]
me : Why? How did you hear that name?
brother: When people send you email, they get this email,
From: noreply@[insert old company name here].com (Noreply)
Date: September 5, 2007 11:38:49 AM PDT
To: [insert brother’s friend email here]
Subject: Re: wine tasting … anyone interested in doing it again ??Wendy Johnson is no longer with [insert company name here]. Please send your inquiries to [insert old boss name here] [oldBossEmail@oldCompanyName.com]
me : That’s my old boss
brother : Oh. I’ll send email to everyone to remind them.
I don’t know why, but the email made me feel special!
Usually when I leave a company (not very often but sometime it happens) the email just bounces. Having a personalize email letting people know I don’t work there anymore is just totally awesome!
Thank you party people at [insert old company name here] for making me feel special! I would name names, but you know who you are.
I miss you all!
