I'm a bit bummed out. A co-worker and someone I consider a good friend and confidant just resigned. He turned in his notice a couple of weeks back, and his last day was yesterday (technically, today, but he turned his stuff in yesterday and took a vacation day today). He was 20 years older than I am, but I got to know him, and he's invited my family out to his house on a few different occasions to visit with him and his wife.
I'm bummed because now I feel like there's no one else in the office that I can "talk to", and/or trust for that matter.
Sure, I trust my co workers to do their jobs and such, but I trust them with very little else. If I talk to any of them, it's generally work related or general chat ("Hi!", "How are you?", etc.)
And my workplace does a yearly survey where they ask us if we have "a best friend at work". Now I can't answer that question in the affirmative.
Though, on the plus side, this guy is starting his own business, and I'm going to be his de-facto CTO (on the side). So we can keep in touch that way.
