I'm an ESOL teacher and my planning/lunch doesn't line up well with other teachers. Most of my coworkers are nice, but are a bit cliquish and gossipy.</p> <p>@night cheese: same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1682598 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 18:01:00 +0000 Andrea 1682598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was working, yes. Most of my friends were also work friends. Ex and current. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1682578 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:53:40 +0000 Adira 1682578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of them, yes!! One of my BFFs I met through work, though she now works for another company and lives across the country. We still talk to each other all the time! And then I have 3-4 other really good friends I've met through work. But currently all the people I'm actually working with - I don't know them well enough to be friends with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1682564 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:41:36 +0000 lovehoneybee 1682564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only been there 2 months but I've made several friends already :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1682561 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:40:18 +0000 jedeve 1682561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was but then we had a lot of turn over and now it's high drama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1682554 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:38:05 +0000 prettylizy 1682554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly just at work, I've had a social outing with one coworker and quite a few with my boss </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1682498 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 17:08:59 +0000 blackbird 1682498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have friends at my company, but not friends I work directly with </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1682386 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 16:21:33 +0000 night cheese 1682386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get along with and like everyone but I'm 39 and most of my coworkers are in their mid 20's so we don't have a lot in common. I used to join them for happy hours on Fridays after work until I got pregnant, but that was the extent of after-hours socializing with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681547 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:56:56 +0000 Rocker2014 1681547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I have no "counterparts" at my main work site- everyone except the one person above me works for me, which makes friendships awkward. I am friendly with others in the same position as me at other sites, but I only see them a few times a month, so I'm not sure those friendships would translate outside work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681526 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:49:54 +0000 matador84 1681526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, many are my best friends here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681515 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:48:52 +0000 Mommy Finger 1681515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only been here 6 months and I'm friendly but I don't have a counterpart and don't feel comfortable being "friends" with my staff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681434 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 12:31:26 +0000 sunny 1681434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just started a new job so I haven't made any friends yet, but in all my previous jobs there has always been 1-2 people that I connected with and became friends with outside of work as well.

I had a group of 5 girls that I worked with (plus 1 of our liaisons) who I got together with outside of work once a month to gab and drink. 3 have left, and now I'm leaving. Since those 3 left, I really only had 1 close friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681297 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:59:36 +0000 doodlepoodle 1681297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! My old job I had two very close coworkers that I still keep in touch with. My current dept only has 4 people (including me) and 3 of us are super close and text on wknds. There are a few people I have lunch with but being in HR makes it hard to get 'close' with outside depts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681274 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:54:32 +0000 MrsKoala 1681274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and it makes me sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681258 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:50:47 +0000 littlek 1681258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been burned before, so I don't mix work and friendship.</p> <p>@grizz: Same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-friends-with-your-co-workers-1#post-1681209 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 11:40:46 +0000 Littlebit 1681209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I have several really good friends at work. We hang out together outside of work occasionally also (usually as group - happy hours/etc).

I'm one of the youngest at my company though so I'm not surprised to not have many "friends" compared to my last job. </p>
