If you live in an apartment complex don't meet or hangout with neighbors, less people who are in your business the happier you'll be.
This also applies to work in some cases. Be careful about who you share your personal business with, even if it’s your friends or family. If somebody is always talking about someone else, it’s likely they’re talking about you too.
Totally agree. Some colleagues can be very gossipy and two-faced. Thread carefully with what you share about yourself, and take your time getting to know fellow workers.
I can NOT agree more.
Additionally, be careful taking a job where a friend already works. Ethics/beliefs can clash, expectations, etc. last job i had was in a place where someone i truly enjoyed was a long time employee. After a few months i really learned what and out of touch, entitled, racist piece of work they were. Couldnt stay at the job or keep that relationship
Is that more of an issue with them not being a very good friend/person in the first place?
I have worked with friends and had no issues in work or outside as they were decent people before, during and after the period of being colleagues entered our lives.
Maybe the working environment accelerates revealing people's characters faster than just enjoyable friend activities.
Then again, I guess it's nicer not to have been close with them when learning this and easier to be able to keep them at an arm's length otherwise.
