THE FIVE FRIENDS YOU NEED TO HAVE AT WORK: You spend most of your time at work, so you should start making friends there, if you havent already. Research shows that having friends at work boosts your morale by 50%. You dont have to be friends with EVERYONE, but here are the five friends you NEED to have. #1.) THE I.T. MANAGER. When your computer freezes up or your emails disappear, the IT guy is the only person you can turn to. So even if you wouldnt hang out with him on the weekends, make sure youre buddies from 9 to 5. #2.) THE VETERAN. Chances are theres someone at work whos been there longer than you. They know all the right people, and can help you climb the ladder. --Just be careful which Veteran you pick. Not all of them are willing to help you out. So buddy up to the one whos been the nicest to you so far. #3.) SOMEONE IN A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT. At some point, everyone needs to vent about their job. But its better if you complain to someone you DONT work with all day. That way, theres less chance your boss will find out. #4.) THE OFFICE MANAGER. Someone has to stock the stock room and plan company outings. But most people dont talk to the office manager until they need something. Which is why YOU should. That way, when you DO need something, youll probably get it. #5.) A REAL FRIEND. You need someone whos willing to cover for you when you show up late. And the best person for the job is someone you really ARE friends with. And unlike your other office friends, this is someone youll probably want to hang with outside of work. --Having a genuine friend in the office can come in handy, but it can also reduce stress and make the grind a little more bearable.
