There are two controversial opinions that socialising with co-workers after a working day and on weekends is a splendid idea.
Nonetheless
, others do believe that it is vital to separate the working and private lives.
This
 essay agrees with the first statement
due to
 the obvious fact that nice relationships with colleagues are the surefire way to productive labour and disagrees with the second statement, as some jobs imply social relations between the workers.  The main benefit of socialising with your colleagues after a tough working day is that it may facilitate the
work
 and lead to a polished outcome. The recent inquiry of the Belorussian Government University has shown that the more workers are sociable, the better and easier the
work
 goes.
However
, despite the obvious pros of spending time with your co-workers, there are still people who do not agree with
such
 a statement. Some people deem that their working and private lives have to stay separated.
This
 essay does not agree with
such
 a belief because, without establishing relations with those with whom you
work
, it may
also
 lead to devastating results
such
 as a decrease in productivity or even the creation of a toxic community among

 Estonian Psychological University has revealed that 6 out of 10 groups of co-workers that did not maintain contact with each other had problems with toxic communities within them.  To infer, being part of a community where you

 is quite essential because it can make the result of your collaboration very productive. At the same time, it is important not to neglect the people with whom you are currently working, as they may have a negative influence on your
work
