The myth of friends at work...


How many friends do you have at work?

Covid-19 lockdowns has exposed many myths about society and the way we live [see photo].


The truth is that friends made at work are colleagues, team mates, associates, etc but few are true friends. Covid-19 lockdowns sent workplace friends home in many industries and this act separated individuals from the "group think" which supports workplace friends. However... workplace friends can survive all the mandated change if these friends really "trust" each other; truly like each other; and/or enjoy being around each at outside events [backyard parties].


Who is your workplace friend when you are not fully vaccinated? Who is your workplace friend when you protest rules that would have you wear a mask here, there, and everywhere? Who is your workplace friend when you are threatened with dismissal because you will not comply with "group think" mandates? Who is your workplace friend when you are under extreme pressure at work? Who is your workplace friend when you make a huge mistake? Who is your workplace friend when you need to learn a new skill set?


Who is your workplace friend...
