XO, Melanie]]> 2021-04-21 22:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444750614 Will miss you dearly! https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444753237 You have been such a core part of my Thumbtack experience. I'll miss all of our interview room chats! Can't wait to see what you accomplish! -Jelena]]> 2021-04-21 22:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444753237 It's been real! https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444760091 I am serious.. you are the only person in Thumbtack I can confirm is a real person! 

I have only known you for a short time in TT terms, but I feel like I have known you for years.. I will never find out if you are fun to sit next to in the office, but you have certainly been fun to work through a screen with. 

All the best for the future, and I know we will keep in touch! - Steve]]> 2021-04-21 22:23:36 UTC https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444760091 Boomerang? https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444763665 Seriously, you will be sorely missed. From late night slack banter to your thoughtful career advice to your brilliant insights, I'm going to miss you as a colleague and friend. You've done so much for Thumbtack and me--I'm very grateful. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Your fingerprints are on so much of what makes Thumbtack great today.  I'm thankful that I and others get to stand on your shoulders via your many accomplishments.  Keep in touch and know you've got a lifelong fan, coach, friend, whatever you need! - Jeff ]]> 2021-04-21 22:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444766620 Whitney, dimitriy1 https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444780220
I had never met a marketer who wanted to fix measurement and get it right before. Working with you was like encountering a Kelpie, and I will treasure that forever. I will miss your tough and thoughtful questions and ideas. You have put us on a steady course toward growing the business in a rigorous, evidence-based way, and this impact on Thumbtack will reverberate for a very long time. I can't wait to see what you will tackle next!

Thank you for being you and for everything you've done at Thumbtack, I didn't expect to see you go but I understand you've been here for quite some time. Best of wishes and hope we get to work together again!

Thank you for always bringing your best game to the team. I will miss you as a colleague and a friend. I know you will be super successful in whatever your next adventure will be.
-Shelton]]> 2021-04-22 00:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1444946541 Thank you for the journey claireconly https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1445540673 Whitney, I was thinking back to when I first got to know you, and I think it was when we sat near each other in the old Thumbtack office and were  building dashboards for our projects with the help of Dave Williams. We've been on quite the journey at Thumbtack together and seen a lot of different chapters. I'll miss your tough questions in All Thumbs, your self-deprecating humor, your honesty, your quickness to lift others up, and the way you gravitate towards and speak up for the right thing. I will miss you, but the Corona Babies Whatsapp channel will live on, and this might be a forcing function to hang out IRL!

Whitney, I'm incredibly grateful to have had the chance to work together and make a new friend. I already miss our in-office 1:1s chats, but I'll also miss dearly your contagious energy, your passion & drive to fix everything that seems less than perfect to you. We promise to try to hold ourselves to the same bar you would have held us up to.
We'll miss you, but incredibly excited to see what's next for you!

I'll never forget your effort to help me debug an email for "Best of Thumbtack" badges that we used to send to pros via email... and how we both, after some time, decided to imbibe on some whiskey, neat, to rev up our efforts. It was late on a Friday night, after all. And, of course, I'll always remember the weekend trip to Guerneville with Ran and Ellen!! 
Needless to say, your journey at Thumbtack has been an admirable one and we're lucky you've steered this ship with your growth and product expertise. 
Will miss you and can't wait to celebrate you IRL soon!!! 
Dre]]> 2021-04-22 04:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1445631984 See you at our next 1:1! https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1446756679 While you’ll be sorely missed and it’s honestly hard to imagine my TT life without you, this is not goodbye! We’ll just be having our 1:1s in life and not at work :) Here’s to celebrating our years of laughter, crying, empowerment, learning, and growth together. Sending so much love to you in your next chapter.  -Leslie]]> 2021-04-22 11:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1446756679 Thumbtack won't be the same with out you! https://padlet.com/amberl18/1bdbo5e5mpxfve8a/wish/1447657638 But it also won't be the same because of you!

We haven't had a chance to work together in a meaningful way until recently. I am grateful for the time and partnership. I wish we had more time working together.
I wish you the best of luck in your next chapter! You will be wildly successful wherever and whatever you decide to do next.

Can't believe the ride we've been on together for half a decade!!!

From the early days of emails, I immediately admired your tough questions, drive to understand the details, and your ability to make those that work with you feel important, appreciated, and able to be themselves. Thanks for all the career advice and support.

Thumbtack would not be where we are today without you. Excited to see how you are going to knock people's socks off next! 

Boom Boom and PPL,
