Despite the positivity from management, he opted to depart in pursuit of something better.

According to him, the reaction from the organisation was one of disappointment when he chose not to stay back.

He noted that his exit was not preceded by any alternative arrangements. He had not secured another position and was not attending any interviews at the time.

His decision was based on personal principle rather than on a new opportunity that had presented itself.

He explained that the reason for leaving stemmed from a lack of fulfilment in that environment.

The guidance he had given himself was to avoid staying in a place that did not provide satisfaction.

Nevertheless, he maintained that the choice had been justified in his view.
