Building and maintaining strong relationships with former colleagues is essential, and platforms like LinkedIn offer the ideal space to connect with them.

2 Reach out personally

Another way to stay connected with your former colleagues is to reach out to them personally and express your gratitude, appreciation, and interest in their work. You can send them a message, an email, or even a handwritten note, depending on the level of formality and intimacy you have with them. You can also share some updates on your situation, goals, and challenges, and ask them how they are doing. Try to be genuine, positive, and respectful, and avoid complaining or blaming anyone for the layoff.

It's important to build good relationships with your colleagues while you're working together. Stay in touch with them through professional platforms, and keep talking even after the job ends. Make sure not to come off as self-centered. I connect with some of my colleagues on professional platforms and update them on what I'm doing by posting regularly on social media. But I also send them personal messages to see how they're doing. It's help me to build good relationship with them

Un conseil, essayer de ne pas partir sur une mauvaise note, éviter les disputes si cela est possible, il est aussi important de discuter et de dire ce que l'on ressent, repenser aux choses positives et ne pas fermer les portes. Ce n'est pas toujours simple, il faut prendre le temps d'accepter les choses ??
