Some people think that it's a good idea to socialise with work colleagues during evenings and weekends. Other people think it's important to keep working life completely separate from social life. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Meeting with coworkers during our time off is generally a trend among some people,

while

others believe that it affects

workplace

performance altogether. Both thoughts are right to some extent as a bond between fellow workers helps run things smoothly at the

workplace

but

also

creates favouritism to a level. On one hand, building relationships with colleagues outside work helps us gain their support when we need help with our tasks. It is more easy to ask for favours from someone we know well rather than an unknown fellow.

For instance

, if somebody is running behind on their tasks for the week or needs more ideas on an assignment, a friend will definitely help you out rather than be competitive. Other than that, people who you see daily are easy to make friends with and create bonds that

last

for life.

On the contrary

, an unhealthy relationship can ruin the decorum of the

workplace

. Let us assume that somebody got into a fight with a friend for some personal reason who is

also

a part of his work team

then

it will create a hostile environment in the company.

Moreover

, if somebody has a friend in a junior position

then

the chances of them being promoted are more than anybody else.

Workplace

favouritism can destroy the motivation of other employees in an organization. In my opinion, socialization outside work is a great tool if used correctly. If we are determined to keep our friendships outside the

workplace

then

nothing could be more better. Any job is not going to

last

forever but the relationships that we build along the way are going to stay with us for the rest of our lives.
