Biz Chicks Biz Tip: Having Friends at Work Can Keep You Sane
Whether you’re in a high-stress industry or just have a boss who’s a jerk, emotional and psychological support can make any job easier. Knowing you’ve got someone who’s rooting for you throughout the day and will be there for you when you need to vent or want to celebrate can improve your mood and maybe even your overall health!
Check out this RealAge tip on the value workplace pals for men, and see if you can’t find some ways to apply it to your work life.
And remember, being friends at work doesn’t mean you have to be BFFs and hang out all the time. A lunch companion or meeting-note-passing-partner, or even just someone across the room who grins when you roll your eyes, can be enough to give you the little boost you need to get through the day.
Be sure to keep in mind that work is still work, so even if you and your colleagues hit it off, be cautious about bashing the boss, knocking back a few too many at happy hour, or being a blatant slacker. Keep things light, or it could come back to bite you.
