Can you be friends with your colleages?

when you are old.you will find that is a good memory. Athough at this moment you hate her.it was a good time, in our life everything was made a role.it made of own life

Yes,I have the same feeling. As we known, there is no real friendship at work.Of course people are in different characteristics.Maybe some people dont fit urs. it's normal. Just do what u should do in ur position and enjoy ur work.

if you don't like her, you don't need to be friends with her. think about your work. you need to have a good working relationship so you can work comfortably. im quite a people person. though, there might be someone i don't like, i don't show it. they are work colleagues. i should be nice and stay out of their way in regards to personal stuff. we only need to talk about our work.

i am close to some colleagues which is around my age. the speak the same languague and we usually got the same interest. however i do not get well along with colleague that are older age and had children. they like to talk about family and children whereas i got nothing to talk about family (not yet marry). i will arrange dinner or vacation with closer colleagues once a while. i think i have great fun with them. colleagues can be my good friend too.

I think we should consider many things before making a friendship with workmates. And sometimes, workmates, they have lot of faces, they are hypocrite. They can be nice in front of us, but they can be so mean behind us. For example, with us they are so nice, but lately, we know that behind us, they talking about the bad thing of us, that maybe we never do that thing. That is what usually happen in professional world. So i think we should be aware to make a friendship with our workmates. We should know their personality before we get close with them.

In this world I don't like someone, also there's someone don't like me,but i won't think it too much, this's life! then just make youself happy everyday.

I don't think so. The relationship for me and my colleagues are colleagues, I don't think they are my friends. Because sometimes we can lose temper to our friends. And we can be mad at each other. We can ask our friends to do favor for us if we need help. We can be true to our friends and we can share many secrets. Can I do so for my colleagues? I don't think so. This is why I don't regard them as my friends. Because I have to be nice to them all the time. I love China

depends on kind of friendship, i would get a bit fed up seeing a friend at work and then again after work. i'm sorta friends with my work mate but we don't have anything to with each other out side work, cause my partner is jealous to put in mildly and thinks we're having an affair. so we both just stay away from each other. my partner is now working with a person who is going to be an ex-friend at some stage, the friend has caused a lot of trouble with his ex. you don't need trouble makers in your life, he's on of them. but it's a bit like friends with your boss, anything happen work wise or friendship wise. the other will suffer also.

Yes I have been friends with my colleagues in my previous jobs. But not all of them. Some I just consider colleagues though we eat out and do stuff after work but it's just that. When we found other work in another workplace we did not have contact with each other. Except for some who I still have contact with until now and we remained close friends and really do stuff just like any normal friend would do.

In college I had been out of a person,after all,gorw up themselves,and we should learn to separate a person's face society.

Hi Vivian, As much as possible I try to get along with the people I work with coz I believe having a good working relationship within the workplace makes the job easier to handle. For as long as I do my job and they do theirs, I don't think there is ever a reason to be antagonistic towards anyone. For those who are really "pain in the a_s", I leave them alone.

of course I can! some of my friends said that I'm a sociable and easy going person. so it's easy for me to be friends with others including my office mates..^^

I guess there should be a limit on it...I tried, because when I first move to that city, she has been very nice to me, offering a helping hand to me when no one did, although it was not a big issue, it does meant something, and she also volunteered to be my company...I trusted her...maybe because of loneliness, however, i paid with price...

Yes, I can..and have in the past, few though. I feel that if you are friendly with me when we are together but when we are in front of the boss/meetings you are attacking me with no mercy almost to the point you are a complete other person. I just figure you have multiple personality disorder and I'm scare to bring you to my house because I don't know WHO is YOU..who YOU are really :( ... and I have small children and I can't bring a stranger/someone who I don't know to my house. My children could be in danger you know :(

hi,vivianchen I have the same feeling with you.I change my job nearly 4 months,so now i am working in a new surroundings,i must face some guys who i don't like any more.but i have no way, because i am a new,everything is for the work ,for my life.so we must keep good relationship only on our work. Good luck

hi, i have the same feeling,i change my job nearly 4 months,so now i am working in a new surroundings,i must face some arrogant guys who i don't like any more.but i have no way,everything is for work, for my life.frankly,i keep relationship with them only for work. Good luck

Yes of course especially if you really find the comfort with that person.. I made some good friends with my former colleagues, that even if we no longer work together, we still find some time to chat and dine..
