Same, but ironically the bonds I made with those people were sometimes due in part to our shared experience of working in a bad environment with horrible management. Friendship seems very much a function of overall time shared together. School, work, sports, military, what else is there? ... even internet forums and email correspondence have netted me some long-term (IRL) friendships. When people get busy with commuting, family, house upkeep, demanding jobs, and distance, new friendship is all but impossible.
