Letter writer misses when they would make friends at work before the pandemic.
You’ve always advised against mixing social life with work, although I’m not sure why. And now I read that the generation entering the workforce agrees with you, and is not particularly interested in having work friends.
I like my job, but the higher-ups are okay with people coming in just once or twice a week. So when people do come in, they need to spend the time looking like they’re really working, if you know what I mean, and not being friendly like we used to. Yes, real friendships are sometimes made at work. Miss Manners' caution was to apply a test: If you were fired, would they still be your friends? Or, in your case: If they don't see you as a matter of course, will they make an effort to see you?
