Former city employees celebrated until retirement - a farewell with heart
On Tuesday, a ceremonial farewell to 47 former employees of the city administration was held in the New Town Hall. Mayor Jens Meyer honored the alumni who retired between the end of 2019 and today. In his speech, Meyer emphasized the employees' decades-long commitment and expressed his appreciation for their contribution to the city administration. “You were reliable contacts, and your departure is a great loss for us,” said Meyer, who wished those present happy times in retirement.
The event was characterized by warm moments. As a farewell gift, each individual received a book that represents a lasting memory of their time in the administration. After the official words, those present had the opportunity to exchange ideas and talk to current managers. This interaction helped to illustrate the diversity of tasks in the city administration and to strengthen valuable connections.
A new phase of life
Retirement is more than just the end of a working life - it is the beginning of a new phase of life that offers many opportunities. Whether new hobbies, volunteer work or exciting trips, alumni now have the chance to organize their time according to their own ideas. Meyer encouraged her to enjoy this phase of her life and to actively shape it.
As is often the case with significant transitions, a successful farewell is of central importance. Tips for organizing such a celebration include early planning, personal elements and recognition of the work of employees who are now entering the chapter of retirement. A personal touch, such as a thank you speech or small gifts, can make the farewell unforgettable, according to WirtschaftsWiki.
Appreciation and recognition
The event reminds us of the importance of appreciation in working life. A personal farewell in the form of farewell cards, photo collages or joint activities not only helps the former and their colleagues to make the farewell emotional, but also creates positive memories.
In summary, today in the New Town Hall was not only a celebration of the past, but also a positive appreciation of the lives and perspectives of the former. The Weiden city administration would like to thank its former employees for their great commitment and wishes them all the best for the future.
