Unfortunately, like many others, the position I loved was eliminated as part of organizational changes. Responsibilities that I had managed independently were transitioned to a team outside the U.S. From my perspective, the highly personalized approach we were able to provide was difficult to replicate. Building relationships, knowing the managers and employees you supported, and serving as a true HR partner were the parts of the job I loved most, and I felt those connections became less central over time.
It was hard to watch a culture that had once felt so positive, empowering, and employee-focused evolve. When I joined, I felt that my work genuinely mattered and contributed to the company’s mission. That sense of purpose, combined with exceptional leadership and trust, made Convatec a place where people wanted to build long-term careers.
One thing I’ve learned is that you can have an amazing career with a company for years, but how you feel when that chapter ends often becomes what you remember most. While I was personally saddened by the changes and disappointed that my role was impacted, I continue to respect Convatec’s mission and the important work the company does. I sincerely hope the decisions that were made position the company for continued success for many years to come. I’ll always be grateful for my time there, and I simply miss being a part of what was, for me, a truly special place to work. I also feel a sense of sadness that future employees may never experience the same unique culture that made my time there so meaningful.
