Everyone makes friends at work. If you have any kind of personal skills, it's nearly impossible to avoid making friends. Plus, they can help your career if you and your buddies resist the urge to act like silly school kids on the job. Remember, you can behave professionally and still enjoy your friendship. Read on to learn more.
Step 1
Communicate. It's not necessary to shut yourself off from your friend. Simply explain to him that you'll both go farther if you keep it professional at work.
Step 2
Address each other as respected colleagues. Childish insults and pet names are best left for after-hours.
Step 3
Treat each other like adults. Don't use whoopee cushions during meetings; don't body block each other in the hall.
Step 4
Be fair to everyone. Don't give a coveted assignment to your buddy unless you can support the decision with more than, "Well, he's got 3 kids ..."
Step 5
Resist the urge to relive loudly and publicly the weekend the 2 of you spent drinking beer and fishing, or sipping wine and shopping.
Step 6
Continue to enjoy your friendship outside of work hours.
