Types of Colleagues To Not Stay in Touch After Leaving Job 

These colleagues love drama. If they constantly talk behind others’ backs, they will do the same to you. Best to leave them behind! 

The Gossip Monger

Some people always complain about work, life, and everything in between. Staying in touch with them will only drain your energy. 

The Negative Nancy 

They were friendly at work but never supported you when needed. Outside the office, they won’t add value to your life. 

The Fake Friend 

Minimize distractions by finding a quiet, organized workspace. Turn off notifications and let others know you need uninterrupted time.

The Opportunist 

If they always sided with the boss, even at your expense, they are not worth keeping in touch with after you leave. 

The Toxic Boss Favorite 

Some colleagues are emotionally draining. If a former coworker leaves you exhausted after a chat, it's best to cut ties.  

The Energy Vampire 

Not every workplace connection is worth keeping. Surround yourself with positive people who uplift and support you!
