Beiqing Daily: Every employee should have a moving retirement ceremony

Holding a heavy photo album in his hand, Jin Linjun, a dormitory administrator who was about to turn 60, cried. She knew in her heart that this was the most valuable gift and the highest evaluation given to her by this school and this group of children. On December 31, 2018, the official retirement day of Jin Linjun, the housekeeper of Yunyuan 19 Building of the School of Automation of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, the representatives of teachers and students of the college went to bid her farewell. Two days ago, a farewell letter from her titled "Mountains and Rivers Are Long, My Heart Forever" blew up the circle of friends of Huazhong University students. (Chutian Metropolis Daily, January 1)

Reading this news, it seems to feel a spring breeze coming, both warm and warm, and I can't help but praise the farewell of the retired dormitory administrator at the School of Automation of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Although Jin Linjun is just an ordinary dormitory administrator, on the day of her retirement, the party secretary of the college who returned from a business trip the night before came, the dean and deputy secretary came, and the representatives of teachers and students also came, expressing their condolences and thanks to Jin Linjun, and fully affirming her "dormitory education" work method, hoping that she can often come back to see in the future. The affection is deep and meaningful, warming Aunt Jin, infecting other employees, and also bringing positive energy to the majority of teachers and students to respect ordinary workers.

The retirement gift that Aunt Kim received was not expensive, but it was particularly meaningful. The students began to prepare this gift two weeks ago, from grade 06 to level 18, nearly 200 photos were sent to Wang Zhao, a counselor at the undergraduate level 15 of the College of Automation, many of whom were sent from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and other places. Looking at these children and reading these words, Jin Linjun's emotions were difficult to control, and tears swirled in his eyes. "Etiquette is light and righteous", this photo album not only touched Aunt Jin, touched everyone, but also conveyed warmth to the society.

Think about it carefully, a person from entry to retirement, in an ordinary or extraordinary position diligently busy for a lifetime, both merit and hard work, the unit for him /her to carry out a retirement ceremony, to express gratitude and reluctance, both in line with people's common feelings, but also reasonable. However, in some units, employees always seem to be very "calm" when they retire, some are filling out retirement forms while working, taking a social security card, and the retirement matters are completed, and some even today's personnel department issued a notice, tomorrow employees will "say goodbye" to the unit, cold and quiet. This kind of unsalty and unsalty approach often not only makes the retirees themselves feel bad, but also makes some other employees feel a little less interesting.

American educator George Washington Carver said: "How far you can go in life depends on whether you can treat the young with gentleness, treat the elderly with compassion, treat the strivers with compassion, and treat the strong and the weak with tolerance." Because, one day you will go through all the stages above. "How to treat the retirement of employees reflects the degree of civilization of a unit will also affect the atmosphere of the unit." For incumbent leaders and other employees, one day you will also retire, and to be kind to others today is to be kind to yourself tomorrow.

Every employee retirement is not a trivial matter, every employee should have a moving retirement ceremony, the unit may be difficult to do a retirement ceremony for every employee, but it should be able to do a retirement ceremony for employees who retire for a period of time. It is hoped that all units can learn from the practice of universities in conducting retirement ceremonies for ordinary employees such as dormitory administrators, and form a standardized long-term system to continuously enrich the form and improve the effect. Combined with the actual situation of the local and the unit, the retirement commemoration ceremony will be held colorfully, with affection and righteousness, and with heart, every unit can do it, and every unit should do it.
