'I quit well over 10 years ago': Worker gets called in to work a shift at the fast food place they left 10 years prior

It's a funny thing, really, leaving a job. One day, a huge part of your life is handling the trials and tribulations of your role, the emotional turmoil of navigating the uniquely terrible sociopolitical drama of your workplace, and the stress of your capricious boss's unpredictable reactions; the next, none of it matters anymore—you're never stepping foot back there again. Of course, the trauma and lasting burnout may take some time to rebound from, but ten years down the track, the very worst memories of your working life will fade like a photograph in the sun. You might even look back on them and laugh.

That is, of course, unless your old job refuses to let you leave your old life behind, calling you years later to ask you questions about your role that should have been handed over during your notice period but weren't because they failed to even acknowledge your resignation until your final days. Heck, they might even call you ten years later demanding that you come in and work a shift, just like Redditor 
u/Bumwungle shared having happened to them ten years after leaving a role.
