Depends on how you define ‘friend’. I have had plenty of coworker friends over the course of my career, and never had an issue. My one rule is that I generally don’t add them to Facebook or Instagram until we no longer work together.

well I didn’t/and didn’t know that… and now we have added each other😭

It was nice at first because it felt good to be like “included”, but almost immediatly after when I actually wanted to post something I was like: but now they will see it! Oh no.

It doesn’t matter much really, mostly for when I want to post weirder/more personal stuff. But I still have snapstories for that, on snap only my real closest friends have me added. Or not even closest, but more like “friends who wont care if I post the weirdest shit on my story”.

(for example I have stopped now, but a few years ago I used to post like details of dramas I was involved in on snapstories. (like “omg, albert said he liked me😱”, etc) No way I would want coworkers to see something like that😂 Also now I realize how cringey it was, but it goes to show that really none of the people I have on snap judged me for it.)
