마음에 참 와닿습니다.
정말 안타깝고 아쉬운 내용입니다.

Thanks for Coming Out…Not
Here’s a letter to Nortel’s board and senior executives from the wife of an employee, who recently celebrated his 30th anniversary with the company. Unfortunately, 30 years of service doesn’t seem to warrant any kind of recognition these days.
To Whom It May Concern:
As I type that greeting, it occurs to me that it is quite ironic, as nobody will be concerned over what I am about to say. The fact that nobody is concerned is what has prompted me to write this letter.
My husband celebrated his 30th anniversary as a Nortel employee this past fall. That is quite a milestone in today’s world. He made it through numerous reductions in force, restructuring, reorganizations, and more CEOs that I can count.
Through it all – the good times and the bad, he did his job with passion and a positive attitude. I had the opportunity many times over the years to hear him talk to his customers and coworkers on the phone. To assist them in solving difficult and frustrating problems, to train them on how to use the system, and to support them in any way that he could. I have always admired his ability to connect with whoever he was talking to – and to remain positive even in the darkest days of Nortel. He always believed that Nortel would rise from the proverbial ashes and fly again. He was crushed when they declared bankruptcy and even more crushed when the announced they would not emerge.
Thirty years. That’s a lot of a persons life to devote (and I do mean devote) to one company.
And what did that company do for my husband to celebrate those thirty years? Nothing. Not one thing. Not a phone call, not an email, not a cheap piece of paper in a frame commemorating a job well done.
This same company can afford to pay huge bonuses to the very people that caused its demise. Yet they could not take the time to recognize a lifetime of service to one of the people that kept the company going.
My husband’s career with Nortel will soon come to an end.
But what a very sad end to what should have been a shining moment in his life.
As I said in my opening, it is very clear that Nortel is not concerned and I’m sure this letter will not make any difference. But I want you all to know that I am very proud of my husband and his accomplishments with your company and you should be to. For my husband has always embodied your stated values even when the company abandoned them:
• Customers are the Driving force Innovation fuels our future
• People are our strength Accountability brings clarity
• Quality is in every aspect Integrity underpins everything
Sincerely,
A Proud Wife
