You like have friends where you work or only simple collegs?

While I do have conversations with the employees at work I keep it as a working relationship. I am the supervisor so I don't want anyone to be able to accuse me of playing favortism towards a certain employee. Its just easier for everyone if we maintain an employee/ supervisor relationship. Besides I don't care to talk about work when I am not there.

Building good communicaton with your work collegues is always a good idea. If you can understand one another even better. Your work atmosphere will be so much more comfortable an environment.

I am friends with some of the people I work with and have worked with in the past. They aren't close personal friends, but if they invited me to a party or for drinks I'd go with.
