Friend/s at work

[Miss Taken]

Some are just really colleagues na hanggang sa office ko lang nakakausap but I'm lucky to have real friends na officemates ko din, tatlo sila na subok ko na yung pagiging totoo and maaasahan if I have a problem. Just make sure na kilala mo na yung personality ng isang tao before you open up kasi may nangyari na sa office namin na yung akala niyang "friend" eh kinakalat na pala sa iba yung mga kinekwento niya about her life.

I'm choosy rin kasi kung sino lang yung gusto kong maging ka close. Quality over quantity

... Quantity over quality

  Reversed yata dapat sis 


i'm not friends outside of work with the people at the office.  yes we all know some personal stuff about each other like marital status, where we live, how many kids or no kids, sexual preference,  but it pretty much ends there.  and for me, it's better that way.  that's why the saying 'familiarity breeds contempt', it's very true.  i have to have a big separation between work life and my personal life.

^ Hahaha yes sis thanks!

I think naging madali lang saken to find real friends sa office because of the environment na rin. Wala masyadong palakasan and petiks pa yung ginagawa namin. Parang mas pinadaling version ng college life lol

Tama quality over quantity. I think 2 lang yung tinuturing kong friends ko sa opisina, ngayon parehas na silang nag resigned.. so wala na. the rest ang tingin ko sakanila ay workmate. Pero close ko sila ha.

Bilang lang ang itinuturing kong friends in and outside work.

Hanggang sa law practice, one of the guys pa rin ako. Dito sa firm ko, yung kapwa ko lawyer na lalaki super kasundo ko. Siya lang masasabi ko na friend ko di lang sa work kundi sa personal level din. Awkward pa ako doon sa lawyer-officemate ko na babae kasi mukhang laging seryoso at masungit. Hahaha.

Mga sis, friends ba kayo sa FB ng mga superiors/officemates niyo? Curious lang kasi I'm not comfortable being too personal with my office-mates and ever since I started working, wala talaga akong office mate na naging close or nakakasama outside work.

^Meron lang akong 5 officemates na friends kami sa FB and that's really few in my case. Halos lahat yata ng officemates ko dito e magkaka-FB based na din sa kwentuhan nila during lunch break regarding their posts. I also dont initiate sending invites kasi ayaw ko ihalo yung personal life ko with work life. When I post nga finifilter ko na di makikita ng 5 friends ko na yan yung post ko.

[IamMarieLove]

^Exactly my point sis. I don't want to mix my personal life with work. Friends kami sa FB and same sa ginagawa mo I filter my posts so they won't get to know everything though hindi naman ako masyadong nagpopost sa FB.

officemates na kaclose yes pero boss hindi hihi.

di rin lahat ng officemates ko fb friends ko, sobrang onti lang ng friends list ko. as much as possible, gusto kong mga kaclose ko lang nakakakita ng mga posts ko

[miss resilient]

sa tinagal tagal ko dito sa work ngayon lang ako totally may nakasundo in many ways.

sabi nila bff ko daw si beks, ang akin naman wala pa naman kame sa ganong level. marami lang kaming things in common..pareho mga likes namen ganyan bukod sa mahilig din siya sa boys..chos!

minsan relate din siya sa akin pag nagsusungit ako...yung tipong iniintindi niya ako. pero siguro hanggang don muna iyon. para sa akin siya pa lang ang tumrato ng maayos sa akin sa office yun tipong pinagtatabi ako ng food, dinadalhan ako ng something sa work and most of all madalas akong pakainin sa labas ..hahaha! 

[Aftergl0w]

It depends. It depends on the level of closeness, and it also depends if the co-worker can be trusted and relied on to be really called a friend.

[Miss Taken]

Now that I'm working abroad, I feel grateful na I'm close to my Filipino officemates pero I'm not comfortable na iadd sila sa fb. Okay na rin yung maganda yung working relationship namin, no need na pati sa personal life eh alam namin yung nangyayari sa bawat isa. Iwas issue na din.

[rastagurl11]

I already have my set of friends, friends at work is just a bonus. I'm basically just there to work. I don't add them in FB especially my bosses, but if they add me, I accept naman, although I prefer na hindi ko sila friends sa FB. My FB page is personal so I like to maintain a certain level of anonymity sa mga workmates ko.

[khaleesiCersei]

I made real and true friends at my first job, ngayon magkakalayo na kami but we still keep in touch and have get togethers maybe once every quarter hehe.

Ngayon as i work from home i dont add colleagues and syempre pati boss ayoko lol! Sa linkedin na lang. kasi naman kung add ko sila sa fb tapos naka restricted naman sila magtataka naman sila bat wala silang makita sa feed ko lol

[young_maiden]

I am having a hard time showing my real self sa mga officemates ko. I am nice and friendly pero may halong professionalism pa rin. Meron wall pa rin. Ayoko na klaseng friendship na halos kapatid na turing mo sa kanila.

Friends ko sila sa fb pero nasa restricted list sila. Ayoko makita nila mga posts ko.

Buhay introvert nga naman.
