In a society where people are less happy and more disconnected we are encouraged to (checks notes) not form personal bonds with the people we spend most of our time with.
I hate that these are the people I spend most my time with. I like my coworkers just fine, I've grabbed a beer with a few. Made unexpected friends. I just hate that I'm forced to spend most my time with a bunch of people whose collective mission is to make money for someone else, and that soneone else is the person who gets to spend a majority of their time with whoever they dam well please.
Start working in public services then!
I ALSO hate it.
So do those other people.

This article is disheartening in the way it presents both friendship and work environment.
I have never been in a place where becoming friends with coworkers could have brought drama. We are not in middle school.
Also, "focus on what really matters: the work" Seriously?? In 2024??? Hustle hustle hustle, amirit?
The person who write this article is definitely not someone I would want to become friends with
Get back to work and be a good friend to the shareholders.
