Do you socialise with your team outside of work hours? Or would say you have a relationship beyond just sitting next to each other? I don't mean affair but would you call them a friend and speak to them about personal things?

I read recently that these relationships and after work drinking culture are dying because people are too scared of that one person speaking to HR. Is the reporting to HR culture killing interpersonal relationships or was that necessary?

For me, it's more of a mental energy kind of thing. I'm burnt out and barely have both the time and social battery for my own friends and family. I just don't feel the need to add forming those relationships with coworkers as well.

depends on the team. I have had coworkers who stayed as colleagues and others who became genuine friends. There is value in keeping some separation, but real friendships at work can make the job much lighter.

At my last job we were all similar ages and so going to the pub on a Friday was pretty common- some of my friends outside of work are from meeting them at work!
