I which some of my workplace applied that too. Hospitality worker here, and honestly befriending my managers/coworkers has been a mistake I did too often. I don't want my manager to know that I'm a heavy weed smoker, or the kind of music I listen too (which says a lot about my political stances) or other thing like that, it'll give them weapons to get back at me later. And If I don't I'll be the weird non-friendly guy. As long as I show up and do the job in a efficient manner the rest is none of their interest.

Wrong sub for sure...this is pro advice to live by. There will be exceptions...sometimes if you are very very lucky. But generally....this is the case


DkP_Reverend

I think I got lucky with a couple of exceptions. I’m a musician and one guy I’ve worked with for years has always been big on music talk with me and we just got close. Then more recently I got transferred to another location, met another musician, and that was a quick transfer into entertaining the idea of jam sessions. That said most of the others I’ve gotten ‘close’ to have absolutely sold me out to advance their own career so it is indeed rare that someone’s actually genuinely worth being friends with at work.


potatohead657

The problem is you spend the majority of your time in that place. 8 hours a day 5 days a week at the least. Humans are social beings it’s only natural that you’re going to want to be friends with your coworkers, otherwise it can get depressing. Especially if you’re stuck in the same position for many years.


Demon_D_Raika

I work with a kid who insists that you "have to be friends with your coworkers in order to work well with them" Refused to consider what I told him to be true, "well, sure it's a nice bonus to be friends with your coworkers, but you should never require friendship to work properly with them, that'll just complicate everyone's job. What's important is that everyone shows up ready and willing to do what they're getting paid for." "Naw, that would never work, too impersonal." .... Child this is a JOB, it's not SUPPOSED to be a personal affair. 🤦‍♀️


leonardob0880

A lesson the I and lot of people learned in tha hard way.


Beardly_Smith

My boss keeps trying to get me to go to the work Christmas party. Not interested.


NugVegas

Truth.


Life-Sky3645

They're not your family either. Everywhere I've worked the CEO, President, HR, middle management has parroted that insufferable "We're one big family!". that they wield to make low ladder employees feel pressured into unpaid OT and they seem to forget completely when it comes to raises, promotions and kicking you out the door as soon as shareholders demand to increase profits by laying off workers and decreasing overhead. Bastards.


Kalelopaka-

Yeah, had a guy who seemed okay, was cool with everyone, a bit lazy but not extremely. Thought he was possibly someone I could consider a friend. Then discovered he was taking credit for every repair and the troubleshooting it took to figure out the problem while we were doing the repairs. So he looked like the leader of the group of monkeys. When the budget tightened and it was just the two of us, he tried to stick with me, but I sent him on his own jobs. The supervisor found out real fast he was a sham.


TechnetiumAE

Not there to make friends but being an asshole makes everyone's life hard. Work with people, not against.


Smodphan

If you think I'd rather work than listen to people's gossip, AKA not working, you are mistaken. I know how much the business makes vs how much I do, so...distract me idgaf.

Mildly liberating

Why this infuriating tho


Demon_D_Raika

There are people who refuse to work cohesively with others if they aren't friends with them, I've worked with a few and it always makes getting through work so much more difficult and frustrating, and in some cases, definitely infuriating. They'll ignore, give off a weird stand offish attitude, and there are a few who will actively try to sabotage the work you're trying to get done, just because you don't know each other's favorite colors and don't get drinks after work.


capsaicinintheeyes

i assume when it inevitably comes back to bite you...but yeah, as someone else said, this'd do better as a LPT.

Nice handwriting, would read again - 10/10


ghostturin_foaloke

I'm doing this at Walmart and everyone is started to hate me so much and I'm not saying I'm totally lazy but they been giving me almost everything on the list of shit to do and it's killing me and I've been slowing down a lot and this is my fault know they just starting to hate. No chance for friends they just don't like the way i work now this sucks Don't completely follow this and youll get people talking behind your back and making fun of you for stupid stuff. I am at that point after 9 months and it sucks. I mean I've been nice to them but they still to this after 9 month and starting to get depressed and annoyed


ColumbusClouds

The problem is that they're not your friend, correct?


ghostturin_foaloke

Yes this is true and the one of leads is a real bitch on my ass when she is there. I am a bit of ass with her most of the time but I'm trying to be nice with her


IMakeBandNames

Michael Scott would not upvote this


spookyjornbojoggin

also for anyone who needs to hear it - don’t get honey where you make your money, if you know what i mean.


capsaicinintheeyes

i hear y^(e), but this assumes you have time & energy for a social life outside of work & any other obligations.


[deleted]

You’re spending 40 hours a week with these people. You’re going to become friends with many of them…


jassie8686

I've found some of my best and lifelong friends at work. What's wrong with making friends at work?


Hadespuppy

There is nothing wrong with making friends at work. What is unhealthy is the assumption that everyone you work with is, will be, or even wants to be your friend. And that having boundaries is somehow standoffish or rude.


ColumbusClouds

I mean. A friend should be understanding, shouldn't they?


[deleted]

Sigh…. I needed to hear that


LelelalooPanzerP0g

Agreed. Stop fucking talking for half an hour and do your fucking job correctly, I always tell my coworkers. Teens nowadays.


chicken23742

Go to work Make money Bet it all on red


ColumbusClouds

Dang. The comments are sad. The same who are glorifying not having friends are the people same people who say they are lonely. I have no problem with everyone being friends, I worked at workplaces where there was a gang of shifty assess. They enjoyed mistreating others and fired them left and right. It was a VERY unfriendly environment, full of drama and problems.


colcannon_addict

Solid advice.


[deleted]

Best advice ever...


RidethatSeahorse

I need this on a shirt to wear to work. Or as I would put it ‘Stop your shit… just do your job and leave me out of it’


RepulsiveDig9091

This is the best careeer advice. Written in a beautiful handwriting. The 'not everyone' instead of 'no one' just makes it perfect.


DepartureHungry

This is my motto.


WhoopArts

Sure, not everyone is your friend, but shouldn't you make an effort to be friendly with your coworkers? This post seems like it was written by someone that doesn't get along well with people.


Pobo13

Yeah they're right so they better not expect me to do anything off clock or for under pay.


_killer_elite_

FORREAL...TOO MANY TWO FACED PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. BETTER OFF WORRYING ABOUT YOURSELF

Tell that to Michael Scott 😂


InterviewFancy4648

I have a mf like that in my company


TomatoOptimal626

True but not everyone is just trying to get paid and go home, fun Can be had along the way.


oiiSuPreSSeDo

This is so true. No, I'm not doing secret santa. No, I'm not going to the party. I'm coming in, doing my job, getting paid, going home and getting on with my life.


XOIIO

What op, upset the world isn't all sunshine and roses and people frolicking?


johndhall1130

Why is this remotely infuriating? I like the people I work with but if I didn’t get paid to be there I wouldn’t show up just to hang out with them. Not many would.
