Some of my former staff would contact me on occasion with questions; even asking me to come in as a consultant. Which was nice.
I don't suppose the current generation of professional employees will enjoy the sort of retirement that many of us do. Pensions are gone. Health benefits come from the marketplace, if you can afford them. Employer loyalty is quite thin. And corporate CEOs are getting millions a year with millions more when they screw up and are replaced.

Company I worked for was a small one offering no pension (just a small match to 401) and had to get my own health care after I left but owners always treated me very well so very happy to help my former coworkers.
