In the workplace, it is rare for people to become friends with their colleagues, and many people cut off all contact with their former colleagues even after retirement. Why does this happen? One retired employee cited three reasons:
1. Out of sight, out of mind.
Some employees hold important positions in the company before retirement, and during their time in the company, their colleagues were friendly and respectful towards them.
However, after retirement, things change and people start to ignore them. Why does this happen? Once a person retires, they lose the power and authority they had in the company. It's like a government official losing their position or an emperor stepping down from the throne. Once they leave the central position, no one pays attention or flatters them anymore. The workplace is a place where interests are tied together.
If you lose your value or no longer benefit others in any way, no one wants to maintain a relationship with you.
