Careers & Employment - August 2007

Six weeks ago I left a professional job, and my co-workers were sad to see me go. About 2 weeks ago, I emailed several of them with my new work contact information, as they asked me to do. It's been days, and only one of them (out of 7 or 8) has responded to my email. It's as though now that I don't work there, they don't want anything to do with me.

I'm trying not to take this personally, but it hurts because this company claims to have such a great, friendly, supportive culture. I'd never in a million years have believed they'd ignore me this way, although I must admit that I heard a rumor (before I left) that the CEO really frowns upon employees socializing with former employees. Huh? Are you kidding me?

Should I just move on and forget about them, and concentrate on making friends in my new position? Should I email them again? What would YOU do in a situation like this?

Serious responses only, please. Thanks!

What do you think employers want to see when I go on job interviews? Should they check out my nice, long hair OR does it look better if I keep it up in an elegant hairstyle?

I have been working at my place of business for about 3 years now and it has just recently changed ownership. I know that there is both a replacement for myself and my boss, but still no one has told me anything as to when I'll be leaving. My old boss is going to pay me for yesterday and Monday, but now for the rest of the week, I have no idea how I am going to get paid being that I don't even think the new owner has an account set up. I was hoping that they would've gotten rid of me already in all honesty, because I hate that they think I am at their beck and call until they decide to give me the ole' pink slip. Does anyone else think there is something wrong with this picture? What would you do if you were in my shoes?
