How close are you to your colleagues?

02/28/2012

Almost everyone who responded to our HR Weekly poll says they’re at least friendly with their colleagues, and a solid percentage avows genuine affection. But for a crabby (or beleaguered) 4%, their co-workers are merely tolerable at best.
  • 58% We’re all friendly, but I wouldn’t say we’re close.
  • 31% I’m good friends with a couple colleagues.
  • 7% Several of my very best friends are co-workers.
  • 3% We’re co-workers; we tolerate each other.
  • 1% These jerks? Can’t stand ’em!
