FROM ANNA: i'll miss you patrick <33

2022-08-31 18:59:36 UTC

Patrick, I'm really sad that you are leaving. When I first met you, I mean, when you first came up to me because I had no choice, I thought you were kind of a lot not gonna lie. I was like wow, this guy is very talkative and extroverted. But I was still glad you talked to me. And you introduced me to so many more people at the company which I'm grateful
for. And now, I look forward to seeing you every week and being around your positive energy, and getting to hear all your stories about dating or Hawaii. You've been a big part of my happiness at Wunderkind and you've made coming into the office a happy and enjoyable thing every week.

Thank you for all the laughs during lunch, being a great A-Fam co-lead, and helping me out on every coding wrike lol. I will miss you a lot and I still wish you weren't leaving but you deserve more money. <333 -Anna

PATTTT(rick). you are the biggest gift to wunderkind (hello billions of coded emails) & afam, and we are so lucky to have been graced by your presence ! I remember when we were sm0l girls and boys in the afam meetings in 2019 in the conference rooms and I was like who is this hilarious man. little did I know how close we'd become & how big of a part of my wunderkind life you'd be! thanks for always coding my seaworld wrikes even when I told you to delay them. you're such a real one, you've built such an awesome community here, and you will be MISSED.

<3 <3 <3 see you in like 2 weeks xoxo

FROM JOANNE, WILL MISS YOU!

Patrick!!! You were one of the first people I met in person at wknd/afam when I came to the chinatown crawl last summer. I remember I felt so awkward, but you kept ordering dumplings for me and chatting with me. I appreciate you!!! It's always fun when you're in the office and I'm sad it's going to be your last day 🥲 Thanks for always doing urgent email coding requests for me!! I'm going to miss your high energy and infectious laughter in the office!! I know you'll do great in your new company and meet all types of people. Don't forget us 💖

Patrick, where do i start my dear friend and favorite MC!!! Im so grateful that we met 3 years ago through our favorite dating app, wrike, I was immediately so impressed with how quickly you coded my client emails! I was like who is this wizard!!! Beyond wrike ofc, I could not ever imagine my experience at Wunderkind without you. Not only have you saved my butt through an INFINITE # of client/product fires, but you also helped me get through many difficult times through the pandemic and anti asian violence. You're one of the most passionate, caring, and funniest people I know and you always know how to make me smile or cheer me up whenever you notice that I'm down or stressed. I'm also so thankful I had the opportunity to co-lead A-fam with you this year! Wunderkind is going to miss their favorite MCs!!!! I'm so proud of what we accomplished with our team and it wouldn't have been possible without you. Looking back, it's incredible to realize that we raised thousands of dollars for our community, supported many asian-owned businesses, organized a self defense class and advocated for mental health/financial resources so our beloved friends can feel safe coming into work. Not many friendships can achieve something like that so for that I'm eternally grateful.

Of course, all great things must come to an end and I'm so jealous that your new co-workers get to now spend time w u. I hope you get paid really well but that all of your coworkers are boring and uncool so that you make no new friends :) Thanks for being the bestest homie, please don't be a stranger and RIP <3 <3 <3 - Lauren

good luck patrick!!! <3

Patrick!
I'm so sad you are leaving, but i know you'll do great things in your next role! Thanks for making every meeting more fun, completing all of my annoying email coding updates so quickly, and always being the life of the party. Work happy hours, tech consults, and our row will truly not be the same without your energy and humor!
Keep in touch and i'll see you for our next volleyball league! (joke!)

Keep on hitting up all the great eats.

Thank you for being you. Thank you for all that you do.

Until we meet again,

I will never forget when I went to visit the NYC office and you and the cool azns of WKND included my at lunch. What a time to be alive. I also will never forget when I went to say goodbye to you and you told me you did not do hugs and pushed me away & humbled me to my core. Very good vibes all around. I wish you the best at your next venture and keep in touch! (This is Meilani we only met once) xox

WE’RE GONNA MISS YOU PAT!

2022-08-31 21:17:58 UTC

All the best,

PATRICK!! the way I gasped out loud when I found out you were leaving says it all (my roommate literally ran into the room and asked if i was alright). your presence will be deeply missed - not only on email coding, but in every meeting/happy hour/afam event/etc. you truly brought the best vibes every day, and never failed to make it a good time. so excited for you & all the amazing things you're going to do, but dont forgot all us here at wknd!! keep in touch <3 Gaby

PATRICK!!

I am so thankful that we were able to reconnect again after so many years. You are such an amazing person with one of the biggest hearts. You put so much hard work and effort into the things you are passionate about and still make time for all the people around you. You endlessly give 200% to everything and everyone. I hope you can see how loved you are and how greatly missed you will be at Wunderkind! Thank you for making me feel so welcomed here 💚 I'm SO excited for your future endeavors because you deserve it (and so much more)! Can't wait to explore the good eats on the NJ side with you! See you soon, my friend! Cheers!! 🍻

Patrick, I'm so sad that you're leaving but I'm so happy for your next chapter!! I first met you last summer (which you don't remember) it was my first time visiting the office and you just appeared from nowhere and sat down and ate breakfast with me😂. Fast forward to this April, I was really glad to see you again but you didn't remember me AT ALL!!! :pat-rage I'm so glad that I started coming to the office more often and that we got to reconnect and become friends!! You so deserve everything that you've earned! You're such a hard worker and always so energetic and motivated!! It really inspired me a lot to also push for my best. See you at the top <3

Good luck, Patrick!

Patrick!!1 I don't even know where to start. You have made such a huge impact on WKND as a company and everyone that you've worked with. Your lightning fast speed at email coding saved my ass more than once with client situations, I am eternally grateful. And your vibrant energy brought so much spirit to the volleyball court every week, I always had fun playing alongside you. Nothing will be the same without you, I'll miss you!! Don't be a stranger <3

Patrick!! Even though we just became friends, I am so glad we met through volleyball! Thanks for being a wonderful co-captain and being the biggest cheer leader for us (as well as one of our best hitters and servers). Your positivity and spunk made the games so much fun, and it was great playing with you.

You're a vibrant, kind person and I feel so lucky to have met you while you were at Wunderkind. Going to miss you, but so excited for your next chapter.

I'm sure I'll see you at Domino or Brooklyn Heights for some pick up volleyball!!

Olivia

hi patrick i selfishly really don’t want you to leave but at the same time I’m so happy that you’re getting bigger & better opportunities :”) you deserve it sm 💞

like everybody else’s first encounter with you, you appeared out of nowhere and invited me to eat unhealthy breakfast at your table, that was quite literally the start of my wunderkind happiness. i’ve met so many ppl through you and I’m so grateful for that. you are one of the boldest ppl that i’ve met, you always do things for me that i’m afraid to do or come to my rescue whenever I have issues, and i’m going to miss your presence a lot. you’re a big part of the reason i like coming to the office, and anna tells me we can’t stroke your ego, but it really won’t be the same without you 💔

have fun at 🪨, and remember to invite me
thank you for the memories and the monitor ✨

Patrick!!

2022-09-01 19:42:35 UTC

Good luck in your new role, that team is so lucky to have you! I just wanted to say thank you for always being an amazing person and helping me on all my last minute bullshit requests even when you totally didn't have to + for being so sweet and leaving little gifts at my desk ++ for always being an awesome energy around the office! You're going to crush it at this new place and they're going to love you. xo - Leeann

JY: MY BROTHER 🖤 🖤 🖤

2022-09-01 20:16:13 UTC

Patrick, my brother, my friend, my chingoo. You are a shining heart in and outside of Wunderkind, and truly a great friend to all.
I always have a hard time writing these kinds of notes because there's always so much to say, so I hope my love for you comes through!!

Thank you for being an amazing friend and for your endless energy and positive vibes. you are the reason why i found a community here at wknd, and why i feel warmth here even on the coldest of days (bc 75th fl be brick). you're my rock at wknd and my memelord tiktok sensation outside and in my life (i always love seeing your ig stories and your passion for design lel)

I'm SO proud of you - you deserve all the amazing amazing opportunities coming your way, and even more. you are one of the hardest workers I know, and brightest, creative minds. above all, your heart and love for others is unmatched (which is so evidently by all the outpouring of love shown here and on your invite list haha).

we're gonna hang outside of wknd anyways, so this is by no means goodbye, but rather a big congratulations and virtual hug (which won't stop me from giving you a real hug later).

alrighty - see you for drinks in like an hour bby lMAO 🖤 🖤 🖤

Thanks for all the snacks.

Thanks for office culture.
Thanks for welcoming me into Wunderkind.

Go build new things. Don't forget old things.

leaving me so soon?? :(

2022-09-01 21:13:30 UTC

Patrick!!! Tbh I really only met you about a month ago at my first afam meeting, but you've already made an impact on me in such a short time. You are a shining star-- you are so funny, kind, and generous, and you always make people feel so welcomed and included. I know I haven't known you for long, but in some ways, it feels like I've known you all my life. You feel like an old friend and that's a rare quality to have. Gonna miss seeing you around the office and getting your slack messages about snacks :') Wishing you all the best at your new company and many many more amazing opportunities-- you, of all people, absolutely deserve it! Please don't be a stranger, you are welcome to bother me anytime :)

Love,
Angie

To The One & Only Email KING

2022-09-01 21:25:49 UTC

Patrick, where do I even begin. To be completely honest with you, the very first time I met you in the AsianX meeting (throwback to when AFam used to be called that) I thought you were a bit... much.

But fast forward to where we are now, I consider you to be one of the most genuine, loving, hardest working, funniest, coworker/people- but more importantly, friends I know. Wunderkind is really going to have H U G E shoes to fill. I was always incredibly impressed with how quickly you would execute some of the most complex Email Coding Wrikes you helped with, and your commitment, dedication, and efforts to the AFam community as a co-lead was awe-inspiring.

While I'm going to miss working with you, because you truly were one of the brightest souls at WKND, I am simultaneously thrilled for you- for this new opportunity & company- and for more people to see what an amazing human being and employee you are. Thank you for all of the love & hard work you've given during your time at WKND- you will be missed Patrick. See you @ Cote.

xx Sohyummy AKA Sohyung :)

Will Miss You!!

2022-09-01 21:27:00 UTC

Patrick - although we have not known each other long, I feel like our friendship was just starting to blossom, all thanks to Sohyung!!! It is clear you've made an impact on every single person you've encountered at WKND, and you certainly will do the same wherever your next adventures and journey take you. Thank you for being the biggest king with all things Cult Gaia and beyond. Good luck and visit us SOON!!!

We Will Miss You!!!
