Over the years, several people have sent my manager or me thank you notes that have meant a lot. Here are a few examples:

I really hate to see you leave -- not only for the great work you have done
in figuring out this [product] mess and explaining it to the rest of the world --
but largely because of the positive attitude and gentle manner that you brought
to [company]. It was a very bright spot in the dog-eat-dog world that we
sometimes get wrapped up in. Your genuine desire to work with all teams and
do whatever it takes is one of the things that excited all of us when we
interviewed you. - Former manager

I know there's going to be a lot of customers out there with the help of the
Admin Guide you wrote that say "This is great documentation" and how much
better it's going to make the [product] customer experience. You are a very good
technical writer and it's amazing to have come in with so little knowledge of
[product line] and ramp up in the short period of time you did.

I couldn't imagine trying to be able to do your job, but yet you make it look easy
and do it so well. - Test engineer and mentor

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how much we appreciate all
Barb's extra time and effort on [product] documentation. I think it's fair
to say that having the responsibility for [product] documentation might
just be the toughest assignment for [department]. She's not only got a handle
on pulling content from our very busy engineers, but she's also keeping me
straight on tracking our documentation [bug tracking] issues as we scramble to
finish things up for [product]. I'm most impressed with how gracious and
tactful she goes about her job. - Lead engineer
