Friends as …
It’s always interesting to hear people at work say that it’s not desirable to be “friends” with people you work with or for. I understand the statement when I hear what their bounded definition of friendship is.
The contradiction is that people want to work in an environment where there is honesty, trust, and collaboration- which are hallmarks of healthy friendships. And at the same time, people magically want this to happen without the risks inherent in friendships. Adults know better.
