I’ve seen too many people go on and on about how they despise those they work with.

The folks I work with each day are largely good people. Are they my friends? No. But we get along ok for the most part.

That's the way I feel. I just started a new job so it is too early to say, but I got along pretty well with everyone at the previous.
 
I'm self-employed/freelance now, so my co-worker is... me! And we get on fine :yay:

But prior to that I was part of a good team. We had a laugh, we got the job done. I've stayed in contact with many of them.

Funny, my co-worker and I just had an 'almost' argument. I say almost because she wasn't willing to listen to me to work things out. I've been at this job only three weeks. I asked our supervisors to talk with me on Monday about it.
 
I work for a small company. We're like a family, so it's great to see people you like and interact with them everyday. Though those you don't like, well, you can't avoid them...
 
I like them best when they're not around. Most of the time they take breaks while I work and they take those breaks in my area even though we work in a huge place. And they constantly irritate me by watching me work while they are on break and bugging me with jokes and foolishness.
 
Shift worker, here. I like most of the people on my shift but, the other shifts... Some of them, if they were on fire, I wouldn't piss on them till it them out.
 
Yeah, my coworkers are nice, as are my supervisors. I'm glad for it. Spending hours an days with people you hate must be exhausting.
 
Some yes, others not really. Wouldn't go as far as to say I dislike any of them though, but some get on my nerves from time to time.

Wouldn't go as far as to label them a friend-friend, work-friend, sure, but if not for work it's unlikely I'd have ever met any of them as although we do share come things in common, it's not as much as my actual friends & I doubt I'd ever brush shoulders with their sorts of social groups outside of work.
 
I recently quit due to some life circumstances, but before that.. I really didn't like my coworkers at all. I wish I could blame them for that.. but it's all me. I started out all shy as a kid... and somehow.. someway, that turned into me being an anti-social, hyper sensitive jerk as an adult.

I'm sure they don't miss me. That's okay. I don't miss them either.
 
I like all my coworkers for sure, I'm someone who's fairly easy to get along with.

You'd have to go out of your way for me to dislike you. But some have.
 
Yes actually, I do. I've made some good friends at work. Especially the lady I work directly with. Been with Goodwill for about 18 years. Retires next March. She's a pistol too, broad sense of humor. I love her. My co-workers have largely been the reason I have remained at Goodwill.
 
My co-workers are alright, hate my boss though
 
I work for a somewhat well known tech company a d about half the people are condescending nerds and the other half are dude Bros that got the job due to connections. I do what I can
 
I truly cherish the 6 people I work the closest with to the point I almost consider them family. I’m lucky enough to work in a very positive, albeit frantic at times, enriching environement and all these people help me get better at what I do on a daily basis. We value honesty in communication and constant emulation. Our group is also diverse in genre, age and ethnicity and we all come from very different backgrounds which is a plus.

Which half are you?
 
I'm lucky enough to work with really cool people all around. Some coworkers I even hang out with outside of work at times, like go for a beer or smoke a joint
 
I'm fine with all but three. Those three can go **** themselves. :p

Do you by any chance work in HR/recruitment?

I dont really have a issue with my coworkers but i also very rarely like hate people. Sure there may be a lot of people that i am so so about but very rarely would i use the word hate when it comes to how i fell about some one. Wish i could say the same about my boss and my job. I cant stand my boss very hard women to talk to and I could come up with a list of like 100 things i cant stand about my job that piss me off on like a day basics and only like 1 thing i do like. But not really any thing i can do have been trying to find a new job for going on 6 years will be 6 in august if i am still there but no one will higher me so annoying right now and it is exhausting fell like dead and broken inside. But yeah i have complained a few times on this form in the past just fells good to some times let stuff out that i cant at work.
