"Do you socialise with them, enjoy their company and the time you spend together at work
Or
Bunch of assholes who you have nothing in common with apart from working at the same place?"
I work with a bunch of assholes, working in the same place, but really enjoy their company and socialise with them 😅 |

I have one here in the kitchen with me right now and we'll go to bed together later. I get on with Mr KC famously 
Yes, I get on with almost all my work colleagues and there are only 1 or 2 who I have a low opinion of. |

I get on fine with them all apart from 1 who hates that I got promoted over her and spends her days trying to catch me out. I have/ would socialise with them all.
I love my boss. She is a good friend now, some of the have some good qualities but mostly they are workshy, greedy, moaners who don't know how lucky they are. Mainly down to a generational thing. Always notice more entitlement in certain age groups but there are always exceptions. |

I’m not working at the moment but I mentor the person I put into my last role and hang out with my last two bosses regularly. Some of my closest friends came from work. I think it’s a sign of a good company when the staff have solid relationships |

In previous jobs they were only ever colleagues and the only time I socialised with them was at the Christmas do.
I can count on one hand the number of former work colleagues whose home I was in or met their families.
Currently there are only 2 of us in this business and as we are both part of the same hiking group we often see each other 6 or 7 days a week and go on hiking trips abroad together. |

I regularly see four of my former colleagues and call them friends. Another two or three I'd say are acquaintances and we'd chat if we met on the street. The rest of them are as interested in me as I in them... |

I get on with them for the sake of making my life easier. I’m new-ish and they’re all part of the furniture, so I haven’t been accepted into the cool gang (not that I particularly want to be either)
Apart from one person, they’re not really my kind of people. I can’t see myself jumping at the chance to socialise with them outside of work.
I go, be nice, do my job and get out of there. |

Only one person I can’t stand unfortunately for me he’s the Manager
We don’t talk at all he emails me if he has anything to say to me
Which thankfully is not that often
We the workers socialise sometimes meal drinks etc  |

I get on with most people to be fair.
In my old job I socialised with the gals outside of work and became good friends with 3 of them outside of work and we went on weekends away together.
With my current job I am part of the Management team and we don’t get invited to any work nights out! To be fair though, I don’t want to be hearing work colleagues whinging about their job gripes all night so I’m not bothered. |

I get on with pretty much all of them, would I make friends with them outside work, no. I don't seem to have any interest in staying in touch with any previous work colleagues. I have to change this now as "networking" is a good way to find work apparently.
Tbh I am usually only interested in banging the women, who cares about the blokes. I know I am a bit of a loner.
There's a new lady who started flirting with me today, giving me a not so subtle hair flick. If she's not careful she might get bummed. |

Yes, always did to varying degrees. Few become friends, others stay just people I get on with. Depending on what position you hold, sometimes you have to keep that bit of distance. As a quiet private person, I never mixed with most socially but had a great time whenever we did. |

Oh also I should add I can't think of anything worse than having to tolerate the stupid bullshit people do at work, listen to their annoying stories about life outside of work, and then have to socialise with those same fucktards outside of it. |

I live with one. A colleague, that is. Not a fucktard. |

Nope, not a single one. They all mostly work from home so all we ever talk about is work. I've made some close friends at the last couple of places I've worked when I left, but can't see that being the case here |

I have worked in the same office almost 14 years now.There was two managers I never got on with but both have moved on so no big deal as far as I am concerned.I get on with all my colleagues.One lady is referred to as my work wife and another lady is my Eastenders lunchtime buddy where we talk Eastenders.As a personal rule I don’t rarely attend leaving drinks , birthday drinks , meals , Christmas parties as I am not the most social person and I prefer to keep my work life separate from my everyday life. |

"Bit of both. I get on with my team on a surface level but there's very few I would consider 'friends' outside of work. "
This is correct in my experience. It's o different to life, the ones you like and can identify with you socialise with |

Yes but I wouldn’t tell any of them I am on here.
Also it takes me a while to completely lose respect for someone. There are people who I have worked with for a number of years until our relationship declined to the point I wouldn’t cross the street to piss on them if they were on fire let alone work with them again. I can count those people on the fingers on one hand though |

THIS!
However, I am somewhat unusual as I am one of lifes loners and a recluse. I don't engage with anyone and have never been on a 'company do' in my life. So there is a good chance they think the same about me, I can live with that.

Some I get on really well with and we do catch up outside of work. These people keep me sane.
Some I get on with but wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them.
Some, I do my best to not have to deal with very often |
