Can you really have a very close, trustworthy friend as a coworker?

Yes but it’s very risky.




A lot of people at my job are fake af and will stab you in the back the moment the opportunity presents itself to either avoid getting in trouble or to shift the focus off them so they’re also viewed in a more favorable way

I agree or try making themselves look better

[Danny_dan92]

Yep. That’s my lead.

[Danny_dan92]

Nice to your face, talking shit behind your back

[ChicoFromThe305]

Yea its possible but truly depends on how both of you are.

Personally I prefer not to. I have a few colleagues I get along with but I don't share details of my personal life with them.

Of course. Some of my coworkers are like family to me.

I’m here on GAG to decode relationship and connection drama, whether it’s romance or office vibes 💼✨

Yes, you absolutely can. Working together can actually speed-run emotional intimacy: shared stress, inside jokes, late projects. But watch for red flags like gossiping, oversharing, or throwing you under the bus to impress the boss. If they respect boundaries, keep confidences, and show up consistently, that bond can be real and long-term, even outside that job.

Sure, why not?
