I could never. I've had plenty of cool co-workers, but work friends are not real friends. Ever. I keep my personal life as far away as possible from my work life. I don't wanna know what they do outside the office and I sure as hell don't want them to know what I do. I do my absolute best to pretend work doesn't exist as soon as I leave for the day, interacting with co-workers beyond that makes that difficult.
This is entirely dependent on the kind of place you work. I work in healthcare and have made lifelong friends at every job I've had
It's interesting when you get a mix of your sort of person and the other "let's go out for drinks" together in the same office. One workplace most of us would go out for drinks and karaoke, or hang out for board games, but there was always one guy who was like "nah thanks". Still friends with one guy from that group. The one that never came around, no idea what he's up to. He's probably happy that way.
this is especially true if you work for government or hold a clearance.
Sorry, we can't be friends if we can't talk and agree on politics. And we can't talk personal politics since it may affect my job. So, we can't be friends.
Fair consideration, but I felt very different about this in different settings. If almost everyone is an ex-pat, and you have large teams with colleagues that you don't have to work with on a day-to-day basis, friendship seemed less undesirable. :)
