COWORKERS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS

COWORKERS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS

When you think about how to get along with coworkers most people are actually wondering how to make friends at work - but the thing is coworkers are not your friends. Sure, you should get along with coworkers and having work friends at work can make the day more pleasant… it doesn’t always. Especially if you’ve ever gotten to the point where you said I hate my coworkers, and dealt with dramatic friends at workplace, you’ll know colleagues are not friends. Keep it professional and get along with your coworkers

I would only add that it's not only important to leave your private life (talking about spouse, finances, any personal drama is strictly off limits) at home, BUT it's also crucial NOT to talk about your professional plans, like what you're really aiming for, side gigs etc. Just do your job properly and everything else is not your coworkers' business. Yes, there are exceptions and I am lucky to have some closed friends I trust and don't compete with anyways, but the vast majority of my colleagues are JUST colleagues. It's nice to have coffee them and exchange a lot of experiences like where can we have the best meals at or the most relaxing spa moments, how nicely the kids are growing, but that's enough. We can build nice and friendly relationships and support each other with a couple of good advices (if asked), but not on private matters. It's really bad when people are gossiping about their significant others at work, the person they should trust the most.

Coworkers are temporary. Be careful with temporary people.

[longislandny]

As the saying goes, if they’re gossiping with you they’re gossiping about you.🙄

[xw]

The coworkers who interrogate you the hardest about your personal life are usually the ones to be the most wary of

[mikes]

I have a lot of fake ass people at my job. They wonder why I’m so quiet… they think I’m anti social. I just don’t wanna deal with their drama and bs.

[DianneElizabeth]

Proof is when you leave the job and never hear from your “friends” coworkers again.

[azenkwed]

I hate how coworkers pretend to care about each other, pretending to get along, do activities together and keep on pretending. This fake environment is so toxic to anyone who's truly genuine and simply cannot play the game. Ironically, being the genuine one can make YOU the bad coworker.

[sonicmoore]

Co workers are the fakest people you would ever encounter. Don’t gossip or share your personal business with them they’re not your friends or family. Also not to mention don’t get too comfortable around these clowns as well.

[yuhhinnamornin]

If you're a listener more than a talker you'll realize the majority of coworkers talk about each other when they aren't around. They can talk the most about someone 10 minutes before said persons shift starts, but when that person walks in, everyone acts like nothing was said.

[SeudXe]

When bosses say "we're a family here." I know it's gonna get much worse.

[mediacenterman]

I worked with 50-75 people for 13 years. I knew their children, saw them get married and signed their birthday cards. In 2017 I had to leave my job due to health issues. Two of those people have reached out to me. I am not even mad, just reminding people that coworkers are not automatic friends.

[noqueq]

Sadly, the happiest people at work are usually those who share nothing personal, are aloof and focussed on their shift and then simply leave while also 'leaving the job behind' and out of their mind. The more involved you get in something, the more it affects you. Especially when you work somewhere that you dont even like.

[typickoopakid]

I remember sharing something about myself that I was insecure about with a coworker because I thought we were close friends and I trusted them. The very next day, everyone else I worked with knew about it. Don't learn the hard way like I had to.

[luigirnotyourbusiness]

Some coworkers keep asking personal questions, they pretend to be "nice", but in reality they are psychopaths

[christopherscott]

Everyone at work is not your friend. Do your job, get paid, go home.

[ganktuh]

Since I was 18, coworkers were always at an arms length. Ppl thought I was being anti social but turns out I made the right decision according to this video. I'm 39 now and own a business.

[DisEnchantedPersons]

You absolutely correct. A coworker wants you out you are a threat to them, especially if you’re good at what you do

[BruceLeroyUK]

I was once told, "I have worked with you for years yet know little about you, Mr Secretive." I thought... good, that’s how I want it to be.

[shibaanimegameedits]

High school never ends after high school guys.

[MissChelle]

I really hardly ever truly “get along” with anyone I work with, and I’ve learned to understand that this is WAY MORE THAN OK. Healthy boundaries need to be observed, and having a clear divide between my personal and work lives is SO IMPORTANT.
