Happy Friday Professionals! A little bit of a controversy subject; Does anyone here have a “work wife” or “ work husband”? I used to have one of these when I was working in a role about 10 years ago. Even though I wasn’t married or didn’t have a SO at the time, we looked out for one another!

There's a woman at my work that I work closely and am good friends with, but I wouldn't describe her as a "work wife". I probably wouldn't describe anyone as that though now that I think about it. The term makes my skin crawl 😂

lol I get it. Thanks for your input!

No, but I am in a committed relationship and that would be crossing a pretty serious line, IMO. But I also think these things have the potential to get icky no matter what.

Ok so the work individual is nothing like that in nature, at least for me. I guess it’s different for people who are in actual relationships.

Not currently, but I used to have a "work wife." It was all in fun, and our subsequent spouses were well aware, so no harm no foul.

Thank you! See people think that it was an actual relationship going on. It’s just harmless fun since we do have to spend idk 8-10 hours a day with that person.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
