Company culture is bullshit, company friendships are anti-churn. Getting them drunk together is best way to accomplish that.
I guess, maybe for some people, but I don't get it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm quite sociable and easy to make friends.....outside of work.
I've always kept co-workers at arms length, at least as far as socializing outside of work, or confining, talking, sharing, etc.
I work well with others, but they are co-workers, they, almost without exception, have not been what I'd term "friends". They are co-workers and contacts.
It's just too easy for something to go wrong at work and jeopardize your job, especially in today's victimhood environment...especially if you're talking women here and you are a guy.
No thanks...I'll be friendly, easy to work with...but no, not a friend, not going drinking with co-workers outside of a job sanctioned event, and even then, not staying long or getting tipsy.
My true friends are the many people outside of work I've met and known over the years in meatspace (not on social media)...people I know, trust and often many of them I trust with keys to my house.
I go to work for one thing....money. I do what I have to as best I can...I leave and go spend time with the people that actually matter....friends and family.
But I guess some people mix the two more than they should....I guess that shows when people leave a job and get depressed, or even those that retire and are unhappy.
I don't get it...
