This is random, but I've been thinking about this. Has anyone stayed in touch with their friends from high school? I graduated six years ago and I can't remeber the last time I spoke to any of my old friends. It's weird because we were so close for so many years, but none of us cared enough to keep the friendships alive.

I graduate in 1993. I have 2 friends I still talk to. And only a handful I am connected to through social media. The two I talk to is very at random. It’s definitely not a daily or even weekly occurrence. When I was 6 years post high school I wasn’t talking to anyone from that era of life either. In high school it feels like those friendships will last forever but that’s rarely the case. Not talking to people after high school is pretty normal.

No you're definitely not, you're getting older you're gaining your own experiences so its normal to stray away from old friendships. The people I know that stick to their high school friends usually have a hard time adapting to other environments or making new friends, but that's strictly my perspective.

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.

And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
