Your colleagues at work are not your friends.

[GiftedMAN]

It's not only at work that you can have a friend who's a betrayal. The reason why some people friends are their colleagues at work is because they spend most of their time at work and before you know it they'll be use to each other and from there friendship starts. However, you need to watch who you want to make your friends and be careful with the information that you share with them.

Office relationship between two or more people doesn't make the people your friends your real friends are the people you have a personal relationship with not people you are close to because you meet almost all the thing and you have a good harmony with them. If you have good relationship with your colleagues in the office it is good but you have to be careful so that you will not be sacked because of your colleague has done at your back even those your close friends it's important they you don't trust anyone because humans are wicked.

Yes, people are evil but not all of them. You need to choose good friends/colleagues. Many people may seem like your friends on the surface but very few of them wish you well and can be your real friends. It will take a long time to recognize real friends/colleagues but initially you should not trust anyone. Most people will outwardly wish you more progress due to your success but they will actually envy you and try to harm you without your knowledge. You should be careful of those bad natured people and it is better not to reveal your secrets to others.

Some humans are very wicked that you will will even ask yourself if they are really human or other creatures that is disguising themselves to be human, because the level of wickedness to their fellow humans are on the side, but nevertheless some colleagues in the workplace can turn to be brothers or a very good friend but before you can give them that opportunity, you have to get to know them very well before making any move and also don't forget to be wise and careful.

[Mr Reporter]

in the workplace, you will meet many different kinds of people and it is best you know how to choose the right ones. you do not need to be friends with everyone you work with, the best is to just maintain a professional relationship but beyond that is not a requirement.

A workplace is supposed to be where we go to work and deliver the service that we are hired for, and any form of friendship that exceeds what you are paid for is personal, and the person should do their personal assessment on the people they want to befriend, as some of them are just one-way type of friends who are looking for means to bring you down or implicate you in any way they can, either due to envy or because it's just their nature not to see others grow.

Well people who do that don’t value the work that there been hired for…there should not be anything apart from the work that you are been paid for…well I feel there not like family in work spaces or having to give to slop to same family members working in same office it should not be allowed so if you are not allowed to take the other one there…why do people want to even make friends at a works space that really the best things to do…

Your colleagues at work are not your friends.


If your co-workers are not your friends, they are probably not your colleagues, either.

[HelliumZ]

All the people who work with me at my workplace are my colleagues and they can definitely be friends or become friends. The people with whom I spend all my duty time and get help and support are basically both my friends and colleagues. There are many colleagues who can be rivals at work.
However, these rival colleagues can harm you at work as if they were friends, so you should always be aware of these colleagues. Moreover, many colleagues will help you at work but they may not be your good friends. However, in real life, you should be aware of every person because you will never know when a friend will harm you or when a colleague will harm you at work.

You are right. Office relationships are not automatically friendships. Some of the people don't know how to categorize their relationship with others. They see you and meet you today and the next day you are their friends already and I begin to wonder if they truly understand who a friend is. Friendship goes beyond you both knowing each other at the surface. It is applicable to intimate understanding between the two of you and like you said knowing yourselves personally. When it relates to the issue of office, not all your colleagues at work are your fiends but all your friends whom you work together with can be called your colleagues.

Be friendly, but keep it professional.

Yeah it's a fact as long as the work environment is concerned your work colleagues are your competitors to the top post in the promotional ladder and other benefits. No harm being friendly and smiley at work place with your colleagues but that doesn't make or mean you're friends. You shouldn't have to share your secrets, matters that should personal to you, and learning how to always minding your own business about most gossips there. Because the day you would not be around you would definitely be the topic of gossip.

[Dunamisx]

What is the essence of having friendship that will only devastate everything concerning you, many people are looking for whom they will clinch with all because they want to seize an opportunity from you, we have to be more smarter and wiser when it comes to things like this, the reference of benefits in which we be able to stand by you in terms of need, and some may not because they are incapacitated to be in such position except you stand in for them in reverse, but when it comes to work settings, we are not expected to bring friendship into it.

[Ishicryptic]

Your colleagues at work can later become your friends in the future if your lifestyles and aspirations aligns but the friendship don't have to start immediately you become co-workers, you need to work together for sometimes and study each other to know if you can become friends. You are supposed to be friendly with your colleagues but it is not mandatory that you have to be intimate friends with them so that there will be cordial relationships in the office, over familiarity can make friends to cover misbehaviors at workplace. Sometimes if your office friend is not doing his job as he should you might tend to overlook because of the friendship that is between you both.

If you must be best friend with your colleague at work you should make sure that the relationship doesn't affect your work, when at work you should behave professionally. After work hours that is when to hang out and have fun, if people can mantain such behavior then they can have work place friends, but whether at work place or anywhere else you should learn to select who you become friends with.

There is this mistake that some people make when they work in a company with others make, which is the assumption that their colleagues at work are their friends. With that assumption you find many people becoming too friendly with colleagues that they start sharing personal information and opinions about work to them. Your colleagues at work are not your friends and the earlier you realize that the better for you and the higher your chances of saving your work because everyone in the office setting is just there to work for money and then get a promotion And if it happens in the case that you occupy a higher level than other individuals in your office be rest assured that those people have the intention of getting to that position that you currently occupy and don't mind selling you out for it. This is where friendliness should be avoided because if you are friendly with your colleagues at work you will not know when you will share personal opinions or other details that can be used against you in the office to either get you fired or demoted. I say again, don't make the mistake of thinking your colleagues are your friends.

Be friendly, but keep it professional.

In the work honestly this is important aspect many people ignore. Like one of my friend was telling me that in their profession you can't document on behalf of your colleagues that forget to do his or her documentation or even make some corrections in what they have documented, which if you are not careful that only can make you lose your job.

There are many work places where some people are be friendly with some of their colleagues without them being noticed of their intentions just to acquire sensitive information that capable of querying your past did in your workplace. And as the matter of fact it's also not good to share information about your workplace to the person that isn't your work pertner, focus on your work without making any colleague as a friend, always follow your work place policy and your professional ethics will always protect you from losing your job.

[Berry2d]

A working environment filled with different strategies and people is never a place where one should say we should trust
To an extent of making the person a closed friend, no one knows what tomorrow has to do. Although in ife we can't tell where help is come from but one thing we must never neglect is most friends are the more you look the more you see and will behave some.
.most times some friends are very helpful that salvation can come through them but that consciousness that every body is an enemy and  most never be written off your memory to avoid unexpected occurrence

[EluguHcman]

Everything you have said happens to be what is realistically happening in the society where a lot of people don't know their boundaries of what they discloses to others.

This kind of mistakes of telling others your private life or talks beyond a limit that has the gravity to jeopardize your fortunes is also not just effective in our work places where at your assumptions that colleagues at workplaces are not your friends but perhaps, this attributes can also have influence within those you calls your friends at home or your outdoors friends.

The whole scenarios are centered on betrayal which is projected to bring you down either because of envy to overtake your position or just to make the life miserable for you while the remedy or preventions is just for you to know who and what kind of discussions you shares amongst others which includes families and friends.

Proximity can really make some individuals feel like a Friend faster especially when you are seeing each other most at times but being familiar with some persons isn't the same as truly understandings, it is okay to build a connection at work just your time and don't pressured to share everything all at once truly friendships revealed themselves over the period it's always wise to keep some good boundaries until trust is smartly gain.

[uneng]

That is why it's important to not engage yourself in gossips with your colleagues. Your focus should be delivering results and performance, and not wasting time with worthless conversations which aren't going to take anyone anywhere. If you protect yourself against intrigues, you are mostly likely to shine as a good and respected professional inside the environment.

It means you will have to pay a price, though. The price of being lonely and being identified as someone strange and inappropriate by another workers who enjoy living on mediocrity.

Be friendly, but keep it professional.

It is always encouraged to keep balance between your professional and personal life and both should not be mixed with each other. Daily we spent around more than half of our day at our workplace and from connection with our colleagues but we should be professional , and always protect repetition but never reveal private life or your thoughts on any companies matter in front of anyone that might be used against you in the coming future,  keep your personal things to yourself never be cold or unfriendly but work smartly and try to keep your work environment stable because the workplace is for earning rather than a place for social interaction.
If you do not keep balance and not keep our personal and  private life separate then there is the loss of professional boundaries , their maybe conflict of interest and competition with our other colleagues and if the person you thought is your friend turns out to be untrustworthy then problems can generate. So try to be professional

Your working environment is also a good place you can find some good people to keep as your friends, you don't have to trust everyone around you but working with a particular set of people over a long period of time you should know some good and bad things about them and if you have a good working relationship with them there's nothing bad if you make some of them become your mutual friends. People are bad even at work place but you still have good people out there who are willing to love you and respect your feelings so give them a chance.

[Davidloki]

Going around making friends at work is not bad but there should be distance between work life and personal life. Most people go around making friends and start telling them things about their personal life. That is where I find it wrong. From one sip of alcohol, to multiple sip and boom the words wont stop pouring of the mouth.

At the work place, the work itself should be the focus. However, we need prayers to have good friendship at workplace. Because some workers can become the closes friend to the family while some will only cause danger for you.
