If you left your job today, how many of your colleagues would you remain friends with?

There’s around 250 or so in the office I’m in now. Aside from my husband who’s at the same place, I’d stay in touch with maybe 1 other.

I’ve been at my current job for three weeks. There are currently two people there that I see socially outside of work anyway, so I’m going to go with 2. There are a handful of others that I’ve known for years and am perfectly willing to spend time with at the bar or something, but they aren’t people that I actively plan time with.
I’m trying to get a few other friends hired, so that number may go up soon.

There are 16 guys on my crew. I am twenty years older than the next oldest, and for the rest, I have been working for the company since well before they were born. I get along with them well enough, but as for as socially, we do not have much in common.

We have a continuing education requirement and most of the local technicians attend the same classes every year. Out of maybe fifty guys at any given class, a third of them have worked with me at one time or another. I have taught many of them their basics in the trade. We all get along, but I do not hang out with any of them after work.

None. Eff those guys. If I came in to work tomorrow and they had all vanished, that would be the best day ever.

I’m friends on Facebook with a couple of my co-workers from 5 years, 3 jobs and 10 moves ago.

Um, probably none. Oh, I like the people I work with, I just have a very small circle of people I hang out with. Introversion, you know - we prefer very few, but very close, friends.

Probably two, and I was already friends with them before they came to my workplace. I’m a high school teacher, and it should come as no surprise that most of my colleagues are nice enough people but either boring or odd or both (and, of course, I’m no exception). I have, on the other hand, struck up great friendships with parents of children that I have taught and/or coached.
