I'm two different people, I have a work personality and a home or away from work personality. Seldom do the two meet or friends cross over.
That's partially because I've normally been in position of leadership and decision maker. I personally don't think it's right or it can give the wrong perception if I go out golfing or socializing with my boss or subordinates.
I like to meet my friends from other areas of my life. Too many times when friends are from your work environment, off time turns in to work time or shop talk.
That's probably one reason I dislike the current movement of what you say or do away from work can affect your job. Unless it's illegal, you're in a company uniform, or you state something to the effect that your representing the company. Your views and action should not necessarily be held against you.
I've seen a lot of social media posts and remarks get people fired or in trouble.
It's like getting drunk at the company Christmas party, not a lot of fun and hard to be yourself if you have to second guess everything you say or do.
IIN to constantly feel like your coworkers don’t like you?

Just better for me to never mix the two.
