Those that we work with are co-workers and colleagues, not to be confused as friends. Know the difference and save yourself a lot of problems down the line. Work hard, be humble, stay kind and go home to those that matter!

True friendship with a co-nurse from Utah Trump lover, I am from Maryland Harris lover, we are open with our opinions and respect each other professionally. She's invited me to have breakfast at her house after finishing a night shift as she lives walking distance from the hospital we work at. She's invited me to her church with her husband. We will be traveling together to Europe in the spring.

Absolutely!

A lot of people assume you shouldn't or can't be friends with your co workers. but I spend more time at work than i do at home. I WILL be friends or family with my coworkers. If it doesn't work out, I look for somewhere else to work.

I have work me and actual me. They are different people. Friends at work has backfired on me too many times.

I do have a best friend at work.

Not at all, they are all good at judging what they do not understand.

Yes still get the gift. Go high!

No

I have a couple coworkers who are just as weird as I am and we totally vibe when we all work together. I think we get along so well because we all have a really intense work ethic and we are all very driven by our jobs so we make each other better at work.

Over the past year, my counsel is constantly judged by a select few senior business folks (eg arguing over FTC compliance, IP risk counsel, and even simple things regarding NDAs that any attorney wouldn’t question. It’s very frustrating that my own team is the one I have to defend my logic to (and not opposing counsel). It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

So my VP at my previous company felt bad and refused to speak to me or attend my farewell after my resignation. His reason was that I somehow betrayed his trust as he had promoted me just last year (after keeping the position open for 4 months and letting me take additional work load after the previous SM left!). Does this make any sense? I mean where does this sense of entitlement or ownership over the employees come from? No wonder the company in question is kind of facing a literal exodus!
