  4. The Lights Will Still Go On at HP

    They say the "lights will still go on at HP" without me here.

    I know that is true, but I wonder who will miss me?

    I wonder who will miss the love I have given this company,

    I wonder who will miss how much I cared about The HP Way.

    I often chose to come in early, work through lunch and stay late.

    I thought what I was doing was so important.

    Especially when it was for customers or when it was something so new,

    What we were doing would change the world.

    But the times I was the most selfless, was for my co-workers who needed me.

    Maybe it was to review a document, give feedback, change the code, whatever…

    This is what I will miss most, knowing that I was important to my co-workers.

    I will miss the lifelong friends I have made

    We had so many days of meaningful work together.

    We made a difference and we knew it.

    We understood the power of a team.

    I will miss that where ever I went in the world, I always found great HP people.

    People who cared as much as I did.

    People who loved our HP culture enough to keep it precious.

    These are the great HP people who shared in success

    And when times were tough were the first to say,

    "We'll get through it together".

    I will miss the picnics and the beer busts.

    But mostly I will miss the managers who believed in me, who challenged me, who told me that I was a leader and important to the business.

    I will miss the profit sharing checks.

    Not for the money but because I knew I was a part of something so much greater than myself.

    I will always remember the handshake and the "Thank you" of the general manager.

    Those were some of my favorite times.

    I will miss the laughter and excitement of creating new businesses and improving processes.

    I will miss the serious times when customers' needs were on the line.

    We were all engaged for one purpose.

    It was our finest hour.

    I will miss saying I helped create a great HP product.

    And now will relish in how it changed the world.

    I wouldn't have missed that for anything.

    How proud I am to have been an HP employee.

    I would have worked for free for you HP.

    I loved you that much.

    You should know that I cried when Bill and Dave died.

    I had finally figured out what values really mean to a company's culture.

    My only regret is I didn't have a chance to say thank you.

    I'll take that learning with me as a final gift of all the years, of the great company Bill & Dave built.

    I leave you now HP.

    I am proud to have been the heart and soul of The HP Way.

    I took it for granted for so many years.

    I was a guardian of all that was good and meaningful in this company.

    Thank you for trusting me to do the best job I could.

    That's all I ever wanted to do.
