Years ago I read a reddit thread saying you shouldn’t pursue friendships or relationships at your workplace. Then I again see all over the places over the internet that friendships don’t happen a lot after you become working adult and that they’re struggling make new friends. My question is If you don’t purse friendships, how would those happen?
Want to know about the thoughts of people over here.
I’ve made friendships that have survived leaving the workplace that I met them and I’m happy that I did it.
I’ve also worked at places where there was nobody that I could really make friends with, so I didn’t pursue any lasting friendship.
I’m not going to go out of my way to make every coworker a friend, but I feel like freezing everyone out limits the number of people with whom you can become friends.
Same, if you like someone you work with being friends is cool. If not that’s fine too. I’ve always had a much better time at jobs where I was friends with a few of my coworkers. Currently I don’t work with anyone I have any interest in knowing personally and it definitely contributes to the job sucking.
