Title: Are you close friends with your supervisor at work?
Post by: melodylogan45 on August 15, 2015, 02:40:30 am
How is your friendship and work retationship coming along? Are you able
to follow his or her instructions when you are given a job to do or do you get
an attitude because he or his is telling you what to do?

I keep work separate from my personal life. I'm cordial with my boss but not going out with them because a time may come where they have to be a boss and something could ruin your relationship.

I am good friends with my supervisor, and friendly with the department manager.
I respect both, and know that sometimes my supervisor may have to do something I don't like, or enforce a rule I do not agree with...but I still cherish her friendship.

As a supervisor I did not run, pal or party with them. With the exception of one very sweet girl who I introduced to my son and they were married 6 months later. Is, and was the best daughter-in-law a woman could have.  So sad that she lost him to cancer some years after they were married and she is after 12 years being a widow married to a wonderful man whom I call my proxy son.  She is still a daughter-in-law to us. But I also had some of the best bosses a person could have . I had a couple of wrecks  about 3 months apart and neither were my fault. But was hurt pretty bad in the first one and they were there for me all through it. And took care of me. 7 years after the wreck they were still taking care of me. I could not and was not allowed to pick up anything heavy. Miss them and of course all have retired now and a couple have passed on, how fortunate I was.

I thought I had a good relationship with my former supervisor, but when I retired she dropped me like a hot potato until she needed me to help her with something.  My grandmother passed away and I never heard anything from her and then I had surgery and again her nothing from her.  She got a promotion right before I retired and I think it went to her head and she no longer felt the need to associate with people below her.

I would follow the instruction if it makes sense, but I like to be the leader.

My supervisor is one of my best friends, and, it has never interfered with the job.  We both know what has to be done and just do it!

I used to have a tight relationship with my co-workers and supervisors until one person came in with her big mouth and politics and started rumors about me and brain washed basically the whole office to go against me so yeah, as I sit here not giving a flying BLEEP...I do my work, get paid and only talk business with everyone instead of small talk like we used to. I hope they are all proud of themselves!  :confused1:

No not close. I have had jobs where it was and it almost always turned sour.

I was always REALLY good friends with my coworkers. I work at GameStop so everyone was super laid-back and really chill, we'd get together on our time off and play video games, maybe have a couple beers. Our regional/district managers even played online with us. It was tons of fun!

I do my job and complete the tasks given to me but i do not get along with my supervisor at all.  She tries to be friends with me but i don't trust her at all.  So i keep my distance

If you want to keep your job you are going to do what your supervisor tells you to do.  There is no sense in getting an attitude because they are telling you what to do.  I get along with the managers where I work.  But I am not "close" to any of them.  The suck ups that are close or tight with the managers get talked about.

I have known my boss for roughly 30 years ... I wouldn't say we are close friends but just friends .. I have no problem following what he wants me to do .. He does own the business

I am not personal friends with my current supervisor but was with someone before (I also had supervisors who were once my assistants) and we never really had any problem with the job tasks, although we didn't discuss work outside of work and by mutual agreement they never discussed other employees with me.  It didn't for us, but I have seen where it put the manager in a compromising situation if reprimands or promotions were involved.

My manager at work drives me crazy the majority of the time. We used to be friends but she has become very disrespectful and rude.  I met my husband at work years ago and he was my manager back then. Miss those days at times.

I do my job very, very well, but there is a "clique" at work that is much like high school, I'm too busy working hard and they all stand around and talk and I often get overlooked for promotions and whatnot because they all kiss butt and I don't. So, to answer the question, I'm not close with my supervisors.

I would not call my boss my friend.  However, we do have a solid relationship of trusty and respect. She has been my boss for 18 years.
