This week is bittersweet. I am in the final week of being an official SAP employee. My last day is May 21, 2022. As I write this, I have been reflecting on my career and my time at SAP. Those years shaped me into who I am today. After 17 years, leaving a company is a very difficult thing to do. I am in the process of detangling my life from SAP. It has been so intertwined. I had to buy a new iPhone, iPad, and laptop. I have spent this week slowly moving personal files over to my new laptop and “setting” up my new life.
I know it must be so hard to say goodbye to your amazing company and coworkers. But they will stick by you regardless! I love the orchid Mason made you - what an awesome gift. Enjoy your retirement! Sending love and prayers your way ❤️
Love you my friend!!! No doors are really closing, this is the sound of new doors opening! You have always enjoyed life and now you will wonder how you ever had time for work! Counting down the days to see you!!!
Renee, as always, you, Jamie and Mason are in our constant thought and well wishes. In retirement, you will wonder how you had the time to work. Enjoy your focus on the important things. Can’t believe Mason’s Lego Orchid…looks so real and is the best kind…no water needed. Sending you prayers and all the best…many hugs, Bill and Sally
Renee, as always, thanks for sharing. It’s obvious you are at peace with your total retirement. What a blessing!
Even though we don’t live close by any more, you guys have always been and still are so very special to us. Your determination and your ability to just “push through it” has always amazed us You are one TOUGH LADY!! We are honored to be one of your many prayer warriors and will continue to lift you up every day. We love you!!💕
We started SAP near the same time and I can remember you telling me about JDE SD functionality and besides panicing - that I had no idea what S&D was (arguably still don't) but was elated bc I knew I was working with one really, intelligent woman (and there were only a handful of us at that time). It was a trailblazing era and the women of SAP have alot to be thankful to you for...it was probably challenging at times --being an authenic, smart, female firecracker in a lily-white, testosterone culture - but you never waivered. It is a gift from your upbringing that you have always been comfortable in your own skin (even needle pricked) - you had the courage, passion and loyalty to stay with SAP and helped change her for the better, you made a difference in my life and saying we are grateful is an understatement to what you meant to sooo many 'futures' of generations of individuals that will never know what shoulders they are standing on. But many of us do! Renee Harden Kranking -- I miss you, your smile and your laugh - you made heads turn in the office to see what the commotion was and we all wanted to be a part of your commotion....errr ahh... I mean circle. :) Congratulations on being bold again to close the SAP chapter -while your story moves on, your impact will continue. I wish you and your new found beginning, to be full of love, light, laughter, & a gazillion new blessings to be on your path. I love you always, susan
So glad you and Jamie are at peace with this decision. I know you will enjoy this new chapter to the fullest! Great news on getting rid of those twice daily shots! Look forward to seeing you all soon! 😘
