Semi-agree - though with caveats. Some of my closest friends I’ve made through work but also having a larger attachment to the people at a company I’ve worked at makes it easier to justify staying in a bad position or being honest about the place being bad. I worked at Lyft for a while and hesitated saying anything bad about it because I had lots of good friends who still worked there. I also stayed much longer than made sense and prioritized projects over my health cause of a sense of “if I let this slip everyone else will get punished”. Ultimately this was not true - the friends would have wanted me to make the best call for myself. But I can vouch, atleast personally, being nice and liked at work but avoiding making close friends on the immediate team I work on has been better all around.
