Getting contacted by an old workplace is a lot like running into an ex-lover. There's all this history of shared trauma and buried emotions of all sorts on either side. You had so much intimate knowledge of them once, but now they're a complete stranger. There might be some longing and regret but, deep down, you know it's better that you went your separate ways.

This Redditor, u/AcrolloPeed, shared their story of an experience like this to Reddit's r/IDontWorkHereLady subreddit community. The community hosts all kinds of stories of cases of mistaken identity where innocent bystanders are mistaken to be workers by (often aggressive) customers. Sometimes there are stories such as this where workers are contacted by an old employer despite not working there for years. This story falls in the latter category.

One thing is for certain; this administrator was dreadfully confused yet determined to complete the task at hand—hey, at least they're good at getting the job done… even if the result is completely useless.
