If you live alone and get lonely, go to the office and make friends. I don't care. Just don't drag me away from my wife and cat so I can feign interest in yet another surface level talk with my coworker pretending to care about what they do.
Modern corporations heavily disincentivize making any sort of real connection with your coworkers because most of them will be gone in a couple of years, or laid off, or they might use the info they have on you from your personal life to throw you under the bus.
I'm perfectly happy spending my downtime from work with my family and my off time with my real friends instead of putting on a performance everyday assuring my boss that I'd definitely rather talk about nothing and spend 1/3 of my life making useless small talk.
Jesus christ what dystopian hellscape do you hail from?
You’ve never heard of people reporting others taking bad about their company on social media? Even if it’s under a broad context and no name drops people have gotten fired.
Most people don’t realize just how much of their life is shared on social media and are fine with accepting any and all friend/follow requests from coworkers who are friendly enough and not weird.
I don't use social media so never had that issue and never heard of anyone else having that problem.
I haven't experienced that much negativity among coworkers or corporations in my work life.
But you do you - it's fine as long as nobody gets hurt.
