My best day at SAA


Since having resigned from SAA and leaving in two weeks, my life has been chaotic. The stress on my family has been huge. Having second thoughts, I kept telling myself that, “the right decision isn’t always the easiest one”

Last week I attended a road show by our CEO and upper management. I was a little concerned that maybe there was a really positive announcement and it would just be my bad luck that I have now resigned. I tried to be as objective as possible, tried to avoid chatting to the doomsayers, tried my best to be an outsider looking in. I wanted to forget about the detail and just try and concentrate on the overall impression – Do my leaders inspire me? Do I have long term confidence in management? What is the vision for SAA?

As I sat there, listening to my colleagues fighting for their survival, I can’t describe to you the inner peace that swept over me. I won’t be a part of this anymore. As I drove home, a more relaxed man, I realized that this time, the right decision is also the easiest one.
