To what extent do you consider co workers friends? Do you allow for that boundary to blend? I prefer to keep personal life and work separate and avoid hanging out with colleagues. It’s only in special cases where I’ve come to consider co workers friends. What about you?

Oh well, there’s definitely a younger version of me who made friends with everyone I worked with. I blurred so many lines and dated so many coworkers. However, older more experienced me has realized that was not smart. I’m friendly at work, but I don’t bring my work colleagues into my personal life. Boundaries are your friends people.

For sure! I have become friends with the select, few coworkers, however, I will personally not date someone I work with. But even realizing now, even making friends at work can be problematic. So I tend not to do so now.

I don't have any friends at work. Friendly, but not friends. I think it's safer to keep it all separate.

I have a new employee that started last Monday, unfortunately it’s not going to work out.

We have to terminate employment, but what ethical obligation do we have? Two young children at home and no spouse. This is weighing heavily on us.

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:

2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
