If you work, what’s your relationship like with your coworkers? Do you socialize outside of work and are very close? Keep your distance? Absolutely loathe them?

Re: Your Coworkers
depends on the persons.......if they are hangout'able........sure........if they are bung holes.......nopes..
but gotta keep a cordial relationship at work......and also ok with some group activity.....sort of.
Re: Your Coworkers
Ya it just depends on how cool they are.
Re: Your Coworkers
I never socialise with work colleagues, it would be a very rare and special event for that, plus my team hardly socialises much cos they all have kids etc etc.
BUT I do get on with all my colleagues very well, and it helps that we treat each other on a equal level. Also, because you tend to see them nearly everyday, it's easy to feel close to some of them and be friends with them I guess.
Re: Your Coworkers
Yes there are a few that I trust who are also like friends....and I have/would socialize/d with them outside of work.
Re: Your Coworkers
Rarely. Actually I only and only attend team outings or team dinners etc. when the whole team is present. I am the only lady in our Abu Dhabi office (in our dept.) and all the men are married. enough said. :-\
Re: Your Coworkers
My coworkers are a fun lot, but since most of us have families we don't hangout after work. We go for lunch, or team events like bowling once in a while.
Re: Your Coworkers
As friends, mostly. We treat each other out for lunch every other day, so yea I guess we treat each other fine as long as we're outside of work. Not mentioning, being on good terms actually helps tremendously to get work chores done as well. They're considerate enough to help whenever they could and often without you asking them to, while you on the other hand do lookout for them whenever you can as well. It only helps in my particular case and opinion.
I won't say we're very close though, as that brings on a plethora of uncomfortable/awkward moments, especially with the opposite gender.
Re: Your Coworkers
I desperately miss my bestie at work! He changed jobs a few weeks ago and now that we can't have coffee together we've changed that to a weekly lunch.
He, plus a few other work colleagues are true friends whose company I enjoy and who I can talk to about personal stuff. You pick and choose who you socialize with from work and how friendly you are - it's a function of the personality of the other person - do you guys click.
Re: Your Coworkers
I chat with my colleagues and kid around here and there, but outside office, I dont socialize. Very rarely I go out to lunch with them. I am just crazy about my family and run back home to wife and kids as soon as I am done with work. Some of my collegues go to dinner or movie, after work - and it amazes me that how comes they dont want to be with their family and rather enjoy time with co-workers. I mean, dont you have enough of them 40 hours a week already?

I wonder the same, but then I guess there are those who eventually become family friends as well, right?
Re: Your Coworkers
If you become family friends then its fine. But yes, being a family man, its very hard for me to build friendship with single guys in office (by that I mean socialize after work)
Re: Your Coworkers
i hate socializing after work...i wanna run home so fast...no i am not married i live at home with my family and granted we are not that close but after spending 8+ hours w these people at work all day i do not wanna go socialize after work.
sometimes youre forced to go but other then that, nope!
Re: Your Coworkers
I should add a caveat - I socialize with my co-workers primarily during lunch and coffee breaks. If we ever socialize after work, it's usually with a larger group of people and will sometimes include their spouse - but that's rare.
Having colleagues at work who are also friends makes work more pleasant. I was fortunate in that the colleagues/friends don't report to me or vice-versa - so there's no awkardness since we don't have conflicts between being friends and then dealing with work matters. But, I do classify this certain select group of colleagues as friends, who've been there for me through some rough patches.
Re: Your Coworkers
I think its easy and more feasible to hang out and all that when you are single. Once married, your circle and priorities and all changes.
Re: Your Coworkers
Business lunches yes, after office socialization nah.
I am at good terms with my coworkers. We chat, we have fun during coffee time, on monthly birthday cakes and what not. I go out with them if they are planning to go out for lunch in a group. Once a month, I take my team out for lunch for informal discussion about projects and what not but I don't socialize with them after hours.
After spending 8 hours at work, 2-3 hours to look after business, 2-3 hours in commute, and 5-6 hours sleeping , all I have is 4-5 hours left (in a typical day) and I want to spend every minute of it with my family.
