Making friends is great. Talking about work with friends is good and healthy.
Moving all of your work related chats off-platform so you can “say whatever you want” about work and eventually making it into a defacto team chat is what I’m talking about here. This isn’t chatting with friends, this is creating team divisions and huge gaps in context for the rest of your team. This approach is being a poor colleague in my opinion.
You can do both things - they’re not mutually exclusive.
- lovich 11mo agoYou can’t do both things. Humans want to engage in certain kinds of conversation that companies try to prevent happening. Sometimes you just want to vent and call your boss a fuckhead and it only takes one time in a persons life to see HR punishing/firing/admonishing someone for conduct on company communication channels that would have been perfectly fine in any other setting, for that person to never trust in the “company culture” There is no environment where messy human beings fit into the perfect set of rules and behavior that companies demand
