Leaving

This is getting worse. REALLY WORSE.

One of my teammates was suspended and will possibly be terminated because out of curiousity, he peeked into the account of our CEO. Well, not really our CEO, but the CEO of our account, our client. It was just a harmless peek on a really boring day at work, but for the client, it was a breach of security and professionalism. They sent an investigator, a former cop, from the States to come here and investigate my poor colleague. He was told that he will be suspended for five days, and the investigation will continue so he was asked to turn over his company phone and ID. Termination is very much possible after the suspension, and I feel really bad for him. He's like the best in our team in everything, and everyone, especially me, looks up to him. He's now using his free time to look around for other options, the same thing I had been doing for the past months. Just in case he won't get terminated, I think the damage has been done and knowing him, I think he will be resigning instead.

Almost everyone I'm close with in the company either has left or is leaving very soon. Three former teammates of mine were transferred to the other account only to be terminated the other day for not being able to pass the certification. A fourth former teammate who was with the group is resigning this week. In our team now, people are also leaving or has left, and two of my closest will leave this coming week. One will have her last day tomorrow and the other will have already resigned next week.

*sigh*

All I see are strangers, no more familiar faces. This is no longer the office I used to call home. WE used to call home.
