Susan,

Having worked in various companies, it is hard to keep in touch, but I think it all depends if you have made friends or just acquaintances.

Right now the people I valued in my last company have not kept in touch.  In fact one in particular took 4 days to get back to me despite me saying I would call on a particular date and time to arrange to meet up.  Her excuse was she was too busy and forgot.  In my book that's just plain lazy.  I have never forgotten to call or been too busy for anyone.

I have met a great bunch of girls in my current workplace as a result of our departments going out in December for Christmas lunch.  One in particular I have been out with a few times and there's a crowd of us going to Dublin this weekend.  That said, when you leave a place of employment it is hard to keep in touch because sometimes the only thing you have in common is work.
