Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Leaving a job doesn't mean leaving friendships behind. He'll have to make the effort to reach out because those who are still working have less time & energy. Initially, they'll also feel that they need to let him have his freedom. In time he'll know which of his friendships will stand the test of time & separation.
I left my last corporate job almost 10 years ago, but still keep in touch with 4 of my colleagues there are friends. We have never lived in the same part of the country, so we continue with our phone calls & the occasional meeting when we happen to be in the same place.
I have a lot of friends from a job I left some 22 years ago. DW is one of them. We started dating a few years after I left that job.
And... he'll make new friends too.
Good luck to both of you.
