I have worked as employee for many years,ever met lots of colleagues.when we worked in the same company,we can get well along with each other,moreover,we often interact even after work.however,to my dismay,once we didn't work in same company,we hardly contact each other.the relationships only exist when we were in a company,if we were separated with different company,then largely the relationships ended.What is your opinion,would you still keep contact with former colleagues even yous are not in a company.

I'm retired and still keep in touch with several of my good friends from my working days as a teacher. It depends on how truly friendly you were. My best friends, however, are ones I've known for years and whom I haven't worked with.

yes,whether we can keep connection with former colleagues was determined by how the relationship is, it was very nice you still keep in touch with former colleagues.

Keeping up friendships in those circumstances requires both parties to make an effort. It can be done.

It's easy to lose contact with people you work with when you or your colleagues change jobs. One way to keep in contact is to form friendships on FB.

i guess there are no status or requirements in building a friendship,as long as your true to each other and having fun on each others companion that should be fine
