No op, but it's not surprising that someone might feel lonely in any context. What's surprising is that so many people would lack the social skills to rectify this problem that employers have created policies where they instruct your co-workers to be your "friend.". And it's equally surprising that an employee would have this expectation of their employer. It's rather juvenile, like parents setting up play dates for their kids.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoI don't see the idea that managers should assign friends in this interview. Where are you getting that from?
- Consultant32452 9y agoI was referring to this comment in the grandparent post: >We had a mail-list thread this past week about an employee who felt lonely.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoYou're assuming the mail-list thread was about managers ordering people to be friends with the lonely employee. Maybe that's what happened but I doubt it.
- Consultant32452 9y agoThat's true, it may not have come from the top down, but it's still a foreign concept to me culturally. If I found out my coworkers were sending out communication regarding my perceived loneliness I would be mortified and GTFO asap.
