If yes, do you also do things together outside of work/work-related events? What do you do? And does it affect your work life?
Yes, but you have to learn how to separate the two.
There are friends, and then there are work friends.
^Agree. I won’t be nearly as honest with my work friends, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still consider them friends.
I some times go out with them but i know my limits no BS talking and definitely they are not my friends while they r my colleagues
Yes and no? I voted yes, but it depends on the coworkers. I'd say I consider something like 30% of my coworkers friends.
Sworn enemies
It’s always fun to have a nemesis
Not now Babu
The worst is banging a co-worker
Depends on how it ends. If amicable, cool.
I'd say maybe 5-10% of my coworkers end up being friends, but I'm amicable with pretty much everyone I work with - it makes life easier when there isn't friction
What he said
Made shit ton of friends at work, go out even after switching companies.
work friends with most, some turn into ‘real’ friends
I avoid it at all costs. Home after 5:30 and will hang around with other friends. I used to (when at Amazon) go out for drinks, movies, hell even strip clubs with office buddies. It turns ugly fast, having stupid office discussions all the time, you feel uncomfortable if you have different opinion during code reviews/design reviews, unnecessary promo discussions.
Do you have any real friends?
Do you think people you consider as "real friends", consider you as a "real friend"?😉
