I worked for almost 20 years at the same place with the same people. We socialized when not at work to. Weddings birthdays etc. when I got to sick to work or go into work I tried to get them to let me work from home. We had one person who worked from home because th commute got to be to much for her and she was going to have to find another job. Then they gave her an assistant and after 3 months she the assistant could also work from home but when I asked the answer was no. It hurt real bad. I had been there years longer then the other two

Fast forward a few years and I found out that managment told everyone that they are not supposed to have any contact with me. One guy decided to break that and he called me and told me.

My boss and I talked all the time in and out of work and then nothing. Nothing from no one. 20 years meant nothing to them
