Are you friends with your coworkers?

[rghvac69]

I get along with my coworkers, but I don't hang out with them after work.

NO! My husband says never make friends with coworkers. Of course, I met my husband at work and now we're married, but I guess that was an exception to the rule.

I'm friendly and get along with everyone but we don't hang out together after work.

I made friends with a coworker and did a lot of fishing and hunting with him, until he seduced my wife and led to our divorce, so there are dangers involved. She eventually did the same thing to him, so he actually did me a favor.

I have friendly conversations with all of the employees I come in contact with. Sometimes I will go to a cocktail hour with fellow employees. I still go out for an appetizer and drinks with people that I worked with seven years ago. I am always willing to go the extra mile for fellow workers and they return the favor which creates a well tuned team of people that have a lot of characteristics that I would find to be friend like: Trustworthy, happy, generous, loving, talkative. I would not have a problem with inviting nonety five percent of the people that I wor wit to my house for the holidays if they had no where else to go. So, in answer to the question, yes, I am friends with my coworkers and many of them are close enough to be considered family.

I am a big believer that the people I work with are acquaintances and the only reason we are brought together was because of the work. We would not have gotten together and just hung out if it were not for work. It has always served me well.

Being friends with your co-workers helps you to enjoy your work more

...Until your "friend" stabs you in the back and gets you fired.

Work-friends, yes, meaning I'd usually befriend at least one person enough that we could chitchat around the workplace. Probably not good enough pals to hang out outside of work though.

[DEBMZ6]

I'm friendly with the ones I work with but we don't socialize outside of work.

[vg7405]

I definitely do not know my coworkers on that level. In fact, I cannot see myself hanging out with them during my personal time. It is nothing personal against them; I just do not engage in those type of (platonic) relationships.

[dwggs]

I am friendly with all my coworkers but only actual friends with just one as I knew her long before she was my coworker.

[sak4kat]

I am friends with some co-workers.  In face there are times we get together outside of work.  Since I work in the world of retail the turnover is high and often it seems once people are no longer employed with the company we don't make as much effort to stay in touch.  Most co-workers are better off as nothing more than co-workers.

[rdy2pl8]

I get along with my coworkers, and we can all laugh and joke with one another. We do occasionally hangout from time to time

[camellia0]

I wouldn't call the people I work with friends. But I am cordial. At work we may eat out but after 5,  it's see you tomorrow.
