No, I honestly don't care to know any more about them than what I need to. A lot of them give me weird vibes. I know getting to know some of the higher ups can be good for your career but I think maybe I'll have to try that somewhere else because the people here are not it. I also try not to get too involved with people at work in general but I have good rapport with most of my colleagues.

I try to get to know mine. I think it helps with communication and my ability to grow within the company. Having a work relationship that also understand the personal side of people is part of a being a good associate, in my opinion.

It’s water cooler chat. Casual conversation usually leads to a more personal rapport. That’s why working in the office is important. I was getting coffee when my bosses’ boss came in the pantry for a water. He discovered I like hockey, I discovered he has season tickets, and I’ve now been a recipient of his tickets when he can’t use them. We established a nice connection.

If it happens naturally and casually, sure. Just like anyone else. But do I kiss up? Absolutely not.

I think it's really important for the promotion process. Sometimes likeability/familiarity can be the deciding factor when leaders are making promotion decisions. Having sr leadership advocate for you can only help

Yes of course.

I talk to them like they’re people ! :). Same as I would with anyone. Talk about what I’m streaming, ask them what they did over the weekend. Normal way you build a relationship with anyone

Personally if I don't naturally have a rapport with them I prefer to just do my job and leave the work relationships be professional. I feel when you bring and share personal feelings events or happenings, it inhibits job performance and can lead to work place disfunction. I am very much work is work personal is personal and get bothered by the violation of that boundary.

Just casually

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
