Why Coworkers Stop Talking After You Quit (They Were Never Your Friends)

Big Slick here 👊 Got a story or need advice? Text me now — might make it on Talk Ya Sh!t! 🎙️💯

Ever notice how the group chat goes quiet the moment you leave a job? In this episode of Talk Ya Shit Daily, Big Slick breaks down a listener letter about coworkers who vanished after a resignation—and why it happens way more often than people admit.

We unpack the uncomfortable truth about workplace friendships, how proximity creates false bonds, and why many coworker relationships are built on convenience, favors, and shared routines—not real loyalty. When the job ends, so does the access, and the silence tells you everything you need to know. This episode helps you spot the difference between real friends and situational coworkers without taking it personally.

You’ll hear how shift coverage, favors, and workplace gossip create transactional relationships, plus why envy and comparison quietly play a role when someone moves on. We also talk about protecting your energy, setting clean boundaries after you leave a job, and building friendships based on values—not shared supervisors or schedules.

If you’ve ever questioned the idea of “work family,” this episode delivers clarity, humor, and hard truth. Tap play to understand why coworkers disappear, how to move forward without bitterness, and where to invest your time next.
