Make More Friends at Work

Same ole liberal crap about making friends makes you better off sounds good on paper like many other things like "love your brother". But the reality is that there are a host of people that will hate you the moment you walk in the door before they have ever said a word to you or know a thing about you.

They will spend their time trying to destroy you; misery loves company. While you talk and they smile they are wondering how they can stab you in the back with what you are telling them. "Loose lips sink ships".

When I hear the word "friend" I check my wallet.

The old sayings exist for a reason. They are valid.

"Keep business and pleasure separate".

Keep friendships outside work. Remember that's where you make your living. Don't s**t in your nest.

No suitable candidates here.

Anyway, it's probably for the best 'cause I don't have to listen to people go on & on about their stupid families, politics, etc.!

Making friends at work helps to adapt myself to the team.I mean I feel more relaxed while working.People would smile at my little mistakes and help me then.That`s very good. And we have the same enemy-the big boss!I hope we could make he our friend one day.

This is another incredible find. It never occurred to me that I could benefit in my relationships with others by refraining from being mean and spiteful to friendly and nice. Wow, I knew that I was on the verge of discovery if I just kept at it for a awhile. Thank you liz for this timely information. you saved my life. I am now longer lonely and mean.
