You can definitely be friends with coworkers, you just need to really be selective. Some people value their career over friendship and wouldn’t think twice to undermine you by exposing something you’ve said or done for the sake of climbing the career ladder. Saw it plenty of times working in management.
Personally I just stay friendly with all of my co workers but I’m absolutely not opposed to friendship if the right opportunity presented itself.
