It is so hard to maintain relationship in office.

Yes I do. But I guess that depends on the people who you are working with. I would always make sure that the person I would talk to is very much trustworthy and most people in my company right now are. However back when I was still teaching in a school, I would always have a fear of my seniors. It's because I hear how they talk about other teachers behind their backs and I would always be afraid that they would talk to me like that when I'm not around as well. So I quit teaching and finally worked in a different company and profession.

sometimes you make the first step in developing a friendship at work. Other people may find you interesting but are afraid to make that step toward a personal relationship. People aren;t always sure how to proceed a good office friendship. So if you can show some interest it will encourage people to get know you. im sure if you stay in your office in a year. I think you are really close as friends.

I also found that it is hard to have a true friend in work. Since your relationship is colleagues, so somewhat you will have the competition and of course people will care about their own profits and benefits at first.

I wouldn't think it would be difficult. It's obvious the people in your office have a shared interest with you, but you may need to look elsewhere. Sometimes it can be hard to develop friendships. I've worked in some places where it was easy, others where it was difficult. Give it time.

Relationship in an office is the last thing you would want if you really like to build a successful career. There will be plenty of rumors and if it happens to reach your boss he/she can fire both of you for it so as much as possible pick someone who's not with the same office as yours.

Actually, it is hard to find a true friend anywhere. Not just at the work place. Personally, I try my best not to get too close at anybody in my work place. I like to have a separate work life and personal life. Because I do not bring my personal problems at work and vice versa. Also, it might pose a conflict of interest if I happened to be friends with someone who have something to do with my work, or I with hers. Of course, if I happen to strike a good friend at work, that's a good bonus. But I have to remember that I was there to work, to earn a living and not to expand my social circle. If I did make one friend, thank God. If not, it's okay. But I will still make sure that I have a good working rapport with my work mates.

Some similar affairs happened to my wife these days,though she had been worked in her company for more than seven years.Last week,she told me that her boss required her to work at the construction site.But as we planned to have a baby this year,she talked to her boss last Friday,and wanted her boss to give offer her some convenience.And her boss just told her that he needed a person who would like to follow what he said. So she began to be depressed and told one of her colleages about what she was thinking.In her opinion,her colleage would keep what she said as secret between.However,to her surprised,the secret came out to her boss this morning. She called me,saying that she was a little nervous when she met her boss in the office. I think everyone may meet such problems in office as long as different people have different thinkings.Before we wanted to talk about something with our colleages,we need to make sure that he or she should be dependable anyway. Thank you!

I guess it is a matter of how you want the relationship to go. I learned a lot through the five years i am with my current work, see most of us are ladies and one cannot help but really be friends but then in the end it is a matter of being professional too.. lately i have been keeping it at just that level because when you put it into a friendship level, some would really do abuse.

Hello 512771751 this is checkmail and me too didn't had any long friendly relationship at offices, but yup did made many friends when joined office.Think its the professional levels where only work is your friend and salary is your love, nothing else comes in its ways.Once i got mine butt spiked as an friend wanted me to leave mine job for some other boy to takeover.

Well, I of friends I have only three! As I have always said, better few but good! However, I've always had difficulties relate with other people. For this reason I have always been, and still I am, a very isolated kind! After all, however, of this I will not do nor blame, nor a problem. I live my life day by day. At the moment I'm unemployed. But one day I will be working (and hopefully soon!), I will have all the ways to relate with colleagues. I will succeed?

Hi friend, yes this a real problem but can be overcome. Have smiling face and try to talk to your both male and female colleagues. Gent colleagues can help you more than a female colleagues. If you do not know anything, do not hesitate to learn it from your colleagues. I think gradually you can maintain relationship with your colleagues. Have a very nice day.

I have good relations with my friends and relatives.But it took me a long time to build a rapport with them.The son of my eldest sister is an officer in LIC.He has very good relations with his colleagues,but now these good relations have become problematic.Almost all of his colleagues expect him to do their works when they are on leave for some reasons or the other.And this poor boy is so simple that he can't say'no,sorry' to any of them.

It depends upon the place you work in and the people around you. Some jobs require a highly professional atmosphere and there is no time to even talk to the colleagues, but some of the jobs are best done by building personal rapport with the people you work with. I think it is best to maintain and restrict personal relationships at work.

i thinks it depends on the people around you, the place you are working to.. we all know that gossip is the most common problem that a friends can encounter in the office, its either a bf gf relationship or a friends relationship. just try to balance or you should know the person better before in making friends.goodluck in friend searching! :)
