I have about 7 co-workers in my team at work, and all of them seem OK. My favourite one is this young girl, about 23 or so, and I think it's because I have a huge crush on her lol. But also, she is very dependable and solid.

I couldn't see us being friends outside of work, since we don't have much in common, but generally they seem OK.

I'm OK with pretty much everyone. Some people irritate me to death, but I just try not to be deal with them unless I have to. I'm not friends with anyone nor enemies. Just the way it should be. I don't believe in mixing personal and professional life like many others in my office seem to do. People actually go home to hang out with some other coworker more. Why would I want to hang out with someone I just had to hang out with essentially for 8 hours ... nevermind 8 hours for 5 days every week?

I guess it depends on the line of work you do. when i was in the army, hanging out with your fellow soldiers builds brotherhood and the sense of a second family amongst your platoon which in war is very beneficial. the same could be said about a construction crew, you just simply work better , faster, and happier with people you have a beer with, thats not always the case though. also i notice that most people in relationships always seem to meet at work. So you never know .

I prefer not to be close friends with people I work with. I generally get along with them, and I respect them. I just don't invite them over to my house or go to theirs or otherwise 'hang out' with them outside of work.

I think I'm pretty lucky at my current job. I actually have a group of friends there that I would consider pretty close. We go out together frequently and some have even been in each other's weddings. I imagine part of the reason is we work a lot of long hours. It was probably going to go this direction or we would all hate each other.

Of course there is always going to be a few people you don't like/respect if you work in a big enough place.

Yes, I like pretty much everyone I work with. I don't know all of them very well, but my immediate coworkers are great people and many of us socialize outside of work as well.

I like and respect my co-workers as long as it's reciprocated. Even if it wasn't, I have friends outside of work and to me, if I make a few friends at work, good. If not, that's fine too.

I respect my co workers and likewise. We do have one though who likes pushing his work off on others and he makes about 2 times as much as the rest of us. He thinks hes pulling one over on us but we have his number. HA HA !!

Funny there are 8 on my team and I really like all of them but one--a young lady of 23. She is a backstabber and tells untrue tales to the boss, but the rest are great.
