Don’t Let Friendship Get in the Way of Your Job
It’s terrific when your co-workers turn out to be friends,
too, but it’s important that you not let work become
a social club.
For some people, it’s easy to separate work life from
personal life, even if their officemate is also their roommate.
However, it’s more common when personal feelings start
to influence how you treat friends on the job.
While you don’t need to surround yourself with emotional
barriers, you should be careful about what you say to your
co-worker-friends on--and off--the job. And keep enough distance
so you can preserve your on-the-job loyalty where it belongs:
with the person signing your paycheck.
