Say you're meeting friends and they ask what you're up to. So many times people start bitching about their work or ask for solutions to their work/team problems from friends.
Even at work, if you don't know someone personally to an extent, it becomes difficult to work with them and understand them well. It is expected of you to be surface level friends at least with your colleagues to build a rapport.
Anything tragic that happens on personal front affects professional front, and vice versa.
People talk about work life balance all the time, but to me it seems like a farce. Personal is professional and professional is personal, it's nearly impossible to draw lines which everyone can clearly agree upon.
What do you think?
