Do you maintain your work related contact network? Or did you drop off the radar

Gone Fishing:
Not talking about your friends, but rather those that you kept in contact with purely for business purposes.  I guess the value would come if you ever needed a job again.

MoonShadow:
I guess it depends upon how secure you feel with your FIRE plan.  If there is any significant chance you might have to return to work, maintain your contacts for about 5 years.

Myself, I intend to cut the cord and never return to this form of work, regardless of what happens next.

Ozstache:
Apart from staying connected with a few key work contacts I had through LinkedIn as ER contingency, I have otherwise dropped off the work colleague radar. After 18 months of nothing much on LinkedIn I had 4 job offers in the month of June from some of my contacts. I politely turned them down of course, but was pleased that I haven't been entirely forgotten in my former work arena.

The Pigeon:
Dropped off the radar. For me it's buh-bye except those former co-workers with whom I had an actual connection. As for all the others? I hope they have a nice life. :-)

Cassie:
I did because I knew I would want to do occasional contract work when they had a need.
