Some people like to spend their leisure time with their colleagues while others prefer to keep their private life separate from their work life. Is it a good thing to spend leisure time with colleague?

It is arguable if people should spend leisure

time

with their colleagues or not. Some people consider it a good idea, while others want to stay separated.

This

topic should be considered under different circumstances. On the one hand, people who are supportive to

this

point of view may declare that spending free

time

with their colleagues more frequently could strengthen the

relationship

between them.

Therefore

, they could understand and cooperate with each other much better, and they could stick together to tackle difficult problems at

work

, so that they could be more efficient and productive in their jobs.

This

phenomenon is more common among colleagues who share similar ages, because they might have more common topics and interests to share with each other. If they spend more spare

time

together, their families, especially children, could become good friends, which is valuable to them.

On the other hand

, some people prefer separating their personal lives from their

work

lives as it could mess up the

relationship

with their colleagues.

This

issue usually occurs between managers and subordinates. When they spend leisure

time

together, subordinates probably want to gain more trust and admiration from their managers, so that they might have potential opportunities to promote or increase salaries. At the same

time

, managers might

also

want to provide more chance to their subordinates whom they share a closer personal

relationship

with, whereas those subordinates might not be the most capable employees in the company. To conclude, it is understandable to spend leisure

time

with our colleagues, but the balance between

work

and personal life with them should be measured appropriately. By

this

way, people can not only build a strong friendship with their colleagues, but

also

not jeopardise the

work

relationship

between them.
