Work friends are not real friends
This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.
- Pay, and you hold it.
- Anyone can dethrone you for more.
- Every claim stays on the record.
No claims on the record.
The other side
A colleague who left the company four years ago still drives across town for the birthday dinner. Proximity starts most friendships. School and dorms. Nobody calls those fake. Adults spend forty hours a week beside each other under real pressure, and shared pressure reveals character faster than brunch does. Some of those bonds outlast the job by decades.
