construction workers, laborers and journeymen
are some of the only people who are friendly
to each other, because they love to hang out
and have fun after work.
I am kind of on the fence about making friends from work. In general it is best to keep work and personal lives separate IMO...it avoids alot of potential problems. However, depends on your comfort level. You can be friendly with coworkers, but making them your personal friends can open yourself up to problems..what if you don't want to be their friends anymore, or get into a fight/argument....who knows...then you are stuck with them at work, or depend on their responsibilities to do your job, etc. Not worth the trouble.
Depends on where you work and how much your job depends on your coworkers. I came here as a teller and made friends with other tellers. If you have a falling out, you avoid each other. If they are professional they will bite the bullet and do their job. If not, then they probably won't do well with their job. I haven't had issues with finding friends at work. It's a good start and then maybe you meet their friends, and their friends friends.

Oh I have lots of work friends! Even with those who have moved on to other roles, we still meet up for lunch/dinner/drinks every now and again. My industry is very social though and there are a lot of office happy hours and industry events where you are "forced" to socialize. For me though, having work friends makes the job more enjoyable. I could never imagine working at a place where I didn't have any friends at work. Just like the above post, I've even made friends through my work friends.

That is so true! I've worked in places where people were more guarded and standoffish and it's just not pleasant. I like being able to go to work and say hi and chat with coworkers and have fun rather then keep to myself and then mope around. But each person has their own reasons for doing certain things.
It's the same with dating. Guys always assume that if a girl doesn't like them like that and just wants to be friends it's a horrible thing. Actually it's great because if you are really nice to your friends, they help you out. Your friend who is a girl might have a hot available friend and can vouch for you. That saves you so many nights in bars and clubs, just because you decided to be friends with a girl instead of just trying to get with her and then stop talking to her if she doesn't want something with you. It's always about networking!
