@midnight.thoughts705: Coworkers aren’t your friends. They’re your colleagues. Know the difference. They’ll laugh with you at lunch, then report you in the meeting. They’ll celebrate your small wins, but resent your big moves. They’ll smile to your face, yet gossip the moment you turn around. Harsh? Yes. True? Absolutely. Work is a transaction. You trade your time for money. Nothing more. The moment you forget that, you become a pawn in office politics. Keep your goals quiet. Master your craft. Network smartly, but trust sparingly. Clock in. Deliver value. Clock out. Your real friends are waiting outside the gate.....

Oh absolutely! I have never met a lifelong friend at work they are not your true friends and it’s ruthless in the corporate world, everyone spoke about everyone there were just secrets and lies, cliques everywhere if your face didn’t fit then it was pointless, so glad I’m retired, now I have peace and my real friends are my ride or die’s not acquaintances at work

sometimes it also depends on the company culture.Is it people centric or toxic? Inverted triangle concept.

Disagree. Some of my best friends in life I’ve met at work and would trust them with everything. We spend so much of our time at work, you’ve got to make connections. Don’t think this about people.

some truth to it , I think we've all met some unpleasant individuals at work and learnt some hard lessons..we should thank God for the deep connections we made though cos I'm sure we've all at some point made a proper friend
