Hard disagree.
I spent a very significant amount of my waking time working. This is one of the best opportunities to make friends, and IMHO it's also nicer to work with friends than with non-friends.
Most of the friends I made as an adult came from a work related setting.
- cybrox 3y agoThe article also seems to ignore that "isFriend" is not a boolean state in life. I can build relationships of varying degree of strength in and out of work.
- matwood 3y agoYep, my first thought was also to define friend. As the joke goes, friends help you move, real friends help you move bodies. Few people in a lifetime will be real friends, and it doesn't matter how you end up meeting them.
- advaith08 3y agofully agree with this. Plus, if you're worried about "promotion competitiveness" souring friendships with people in your team, you can always make friends with people in other departments and meet them during lunch. This doesnt have to be a hard binary rule
- giantg2 3y agoOr if you're like me, uou can just accept that you suck and be happy for the other people.

- irongeek 3y agoVery much agree with you and my first thought was, who has that much drama at work? If you do, the employer or the type of the job is the problem.
- thefz 3y agoHard disagree. When you inject friendship in a work relationship, you are also injecting mechanics that are not work-related and can ultimately lead to problems in the work setting. You can be pleasant around co-workers but being all out friends is dangerous.
