Tomorrow morning I will go to work (albeit only a 1/2 day) and my good friend and colleague, Doug Daniels, won't be there. He has accepted a great job with one of our competitors and is moving to Chicago next week. Don't let me fool you, I am incredibly happy for him, and equally as proud..I know this is a good move and he will thrive in his new role, but I can't help but know there is going to be a large void in his place. Tony asked me tonight how much I actually worked with Doug these days...and the answer is really not much. When I started at Deloitte, Doug was my go-to guy. He was the HR Manager for the groups I recruited so he was involved in daily recruiting decisions, giving me guidance & advice, challenging and questioning the process and overall providing insight into our efforts. As my role has evolved, and his did as well, Doug has simply become more of a mentor, someone I could, and would, always go to because every decision was more solid if Doug weighed in. Not to mention the fact that Doug is hilarious, and quirky, and thoughtful and fun. He truly will be missed. We sent him off on Friday night with pictures & stories and a lot of laughs..in true DD style.
Good luck Doug!! We miss you already!!
