Today, I received a lovely surprise! An old colleague who left a year ago called the main line at work just to wish me luck in my new job. It was so thoughtful and really made my day. It’s nice to know that friendships can last beyond the workplace. Has anyone else had a similar experience? It really reminded me of the connections we build!

It really does. Makes you realise that people appreciate you more than you realise.

Yes, I had an old teammate send me a handwritten card months after leaving, just to say thanks for working together. It meant more than any corporate recognition ever has. Those genuine connections stick

That is so lovey. They made a real effort there. You must have made a real impact to them.

That's so sweet! What a good friend. I'm actually getting together with my old work bestie for Labor Day on Monday. It's been a few months since I've seen her, and I'm really looking forward to catching up. I didn't love the job we shared together, but our friendship was definitely a silver lining!

They really do. There is no way I would have lasted as long as I did there if it wasn't for her. Having someone to laugh and commiserate with at work makes such a difference.

Oh wow. That was a really nice gesture. I haven't had anything like that happen but it would definitely make me smile.

It certainly did. I assumed he'd long forgotten about me.

Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
