What friends do we need?
我们需要什么朋友?
工作朋友
Did you know that with a full-time2 job, you spend at least 50% of your waking hours at work? Not only that, but you spend some more time commuting3 to work, thinking about work, working overtime4, and furthering your career on your personal time. Depressing, isn't it?
Statistics show that the more isolated5 you are at work, the more depressed6 you get. That's why it makes sense to get a work pal to chat with at the water cooler and to help you get through the week. You spend 50% of your waking hours at work, and so does your work pal. You'll find it much easier to shoot the breeze and complain about work with someone who can relate to you than eating lunch alone every day.
Your work pal doesn't have to be your best friend outside of work. They just need to be someone you click with on some level, and if you two hit it off exceptionally well, you can always start hanging out with them outside of the office.
