We all have good intentions of staying in touch with high school classmates, college classmates or former colleagues. The reality is that most people are good at this initially but over time we gradually lose touch with people. We are connected in life by our experiences and maintaining those former working relationships is important.
We have become a very mobile and global society. Individuals you have worked with move as often as you have and many times to better opportunities. There may be instances in your life where that former colleague can be of assistance to you. Make sure you periodically cultivate those relationships with former colleagues so when necessary they are a viable option for you.
Over the years I have seen many former colleagues move to positions where they have hired colleagues from their past. In addition you may move into a profession where those former colleagues become potential clients and customers.
So instead of closing the door on your way out leave it open for future opportunities.
