Who are our friends at work?
When you plan on sticking around in an organisation, you need to feel
comfortable in it.
And comfort doesn't simply mean a cushy chair and a good pay packet. It also
means meeting people you can trust and be friends with to make your stay a
little more enjoyable.
Someone to confide in
When you spend more than half your waking hours in a confined space, you've got
to find someone to share your troubles with. From something as small as you
having a stomach upset to those massive boyfriend problems that seem to crop up
every week.
Someone for help
Not all people in an office are as helpful as they make themselves out to be.
Sometimes, you'll find it's the most enthusiastic and cheery ones who'd love to
see you fall.
That's why you have to pick your friends wisely and find someone who'll be
willing to help you in your time of need.
Someone to laugh with
Like the class clown, there's a joker in almost every office. And though they
may be borderline annoying at times, they're also good for a bit of comic
relief when you're having a bad day.
Someone for encouragment
It's all good to have someone to talk to and laugh with, but you know you have
a great friend when she encourages you to do your best and is always rooting
for you to get ahead. A workmate with no
ulterior motives, who doesn't try to bring you down, is priceless. Making
friends at your workplace is easy, but finding true relationships that will
outlast the competition and rivalry can be hard.
If you can find persons who possess one or more of these qualities, make sure
you appreciate their value.
