This subject is a tricky one for most people. Many are there that do not know where to draw the line between friendship and work. In fact, some people believe you can only have either but not successfully combine both. I however come with the proposal that you can play both but the parties concerned must be matured individuals who totally understand each other’s personalities and the psychology of the work place.
The average worker spends the larger part of the day at work so it is only logical that you have close friends at work (logic one). Some other people however feel that you only meet the people at work because of the job; so you keep your friends outside of work and colleagues as ‘part of the job’ (logic two). While I find both points of view very thoughtful, I will try to find a mid-point.
