I think on occasion coworkers can become friends outside of work. Even in those cases it is best to keep that relationship out of the workplace just like a romantic one. If things go south just as in a romantic relationship you dont want it to interfere with work. Generally though It is my experience to keep work away from friends and relationships. If work friends want to remain light and cordial it can make the work day flow nicely but even then the intimate details shared in a meaningful friendship should be reserved for meaningful friends. Generally work should be professional and kept in its own lane while emotionally binding relationships should have their own place. Overall the likelihood of a friendship turning into competiveness, gossip filled he said she said and alienation is more common among coworkers who become fast friends. Plus in many cases it is a quick intensive friendship that is developed over a short term vs. years of working together.
