Farewell to All element14 Members. I'm Retiring

rscasny

imageAt the end of the week, I'm retiring. 

What can I say to express my appreciation for nearly 9 years on the community team and managing the roadtest program? It's been a wonderful experience to end my career. I've found my job both interesting and rewarding. 

Where can I start my long list of thank you's for the help and consideration you have given me?

I am sure if I began listing each and every individual member, I would miss someone. 

Let me start with the Top Members group. You have been valuable to me, offering your insights and advice, as well as your time. 

I can't retire without giving a round of applause to the RoadTesters themselves. Our suppliers have really enjoyed your reviews. Many of you went above and beyond the call of duty in producing stunning reviews. Even those reviews where problems occurred, you have been diplomatic and professional with what you wrote and concluded. I don't want to forget the new roadtesters. I am sure it was intimidating to prepare for your first review and looking over some of the complex reviews posted by our senior reviews. But you hung in there and produced really good reviews. I hope you benefited from the experience.

I also want to thank all the members who participated in my Experimenting Challenge program. I think the program had some bumps in the road at the start, but I think you all made the program better and noticed by just about anyone I have met with. 

I'd like to wrap up with thank you for all the element14 members who have given me input and opinions that improved my programs.

I will be around until Aug 28th. Drop a line or add a comment, if you want. 

Sincerely,

Randall S.

The element14 Team

  • Hi Randall!

    I'm a bit late to this, but thanks for all of what you've done. I have nothing but the highest of praise for your work. From the first time I got involved in the RT program to the last of our interactions, you were always such a friendly and helpful guide.

    Hope you enjoy your retirement. It's a million percent well deserved. You are, without a doubt, an absolute legend.

  • All the best Randall !
    Thanks for everything you've brought to the open-source community :)

  • Randall S.

    I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your support throughout my road test experience and during the shipping process. Your guidance helped turn my ideas into something truly worthwhile.

    Since becoming a member of this community in 2019, I’ve been in contact with you more than any other member of the element14 team, and it’s been a pleasure working with you. It was both a surprise and an emotional moment to hear the news of your retirement.

    Wishing you a very happy and fulfilling retirement. You will be truly missed!

  • Hi Randall, you have taken the RoadTest program to a new level and made it a remarkable success over the past few years. You have been my first point of contact for most of my engagements with element14, and I have greatly valued your guidance and support.

    It is truly unfortunate to see you leave, as you will be deeply missed by this community. Thank you for your dedication and contributions during these years. I wish you a very fulfilling retirement, with continued good health and happiness :)

     How fast a simple visit becomes "the good ole days".  Crazy, eh?  Again,  , best wishes in retirement!
