On the 17th, a post titled "Is it common for former employees to visit their old company?" was uploaded to an online community. The author, A, who is currently employed at the company, began by saying, "There is a former female employee at my company who frequently visits with her baby, and it’s quite troubling."

A explained, "B, who comes to chat, left the company over a year ago," adding, "Yet she still meets acquaintances inside the company and chats with them. Visiting an old workplace is fine, but if she’s meeting acquaintances, it would be normal to meet outside the office. However, B sits right next to people she knows and continues talking."

A continued, "It’s been over a year since B left, and many employees have changed during that time," and said, "She suddenly comes in during working hours, greets us with 'Long time no see,' and hands out snacks. At first, I thought she was a direct family member of the CEO." A added, "If it’s a private visit rather than an official one, I think it’s appropriate to meet outside separately. But she keeps coming in and making noise during work hours. Am I being too sensitive for feeling uncomfortable about this? I don’t understand the supervisors who just leave this as is. I don’t know what to do," asking for advice.

Netizens who read the story responded with comments such as, "She’s crazy. Normally, when you leave a company, you block contact with the CEO and all employees and don’t even pass by," "It’s okay to visit, but not constantly," "If she had affection for the company while working, that might explain it," and "She probably wants to work there again." Netizen C said, "She’s showing up because she wants to be reinstated," adding, "She’s trying to get familiar so she can be contacted when a position opens. Seeing her bring a baby suggests the company was a good place."
