M: Hi, Ashley, how is your research going on? It’s complicated.
W: It is OK. I referred to so many literatures.
M: I also did that, but I still cannot focus on the main point of my research.
W: Don’t worry. Let’s try. People nowadays are faced with a work-related problem.
M: So you mean workplace friendships are like a double-edged sword.
W: That’s true, although the benefits of a friendly workplace can be really positive.
M: What is the other side of the coin?
W: Well, organizations should be aware of the potential difficulties and how to manage friendships at work.
M: I take for granted the leaders of the organizations would be so happy to see such friendly working atmospheres.
W: According to the study and data, many people were concerned about going "softer" with their friends and being expected to treat them with special privileges.
M: Yes, I understand in this way people naturally want to make their friends feel special.
W: Actually, this conflicts with organizational practices or norms of fairness and equality. Then tension would be created in the relationship.
M: Oh, it sounds like a dilemma. Workplace friendship is favored by people; however, new problems come into being.
W: Absolutely, it is really difficult for the organizations to try to provide friendly environments and encourage workplace friendships, and at the same time they should have policies in place to manage potential difficulties.
M: I see. Your analysis is logical. Thank you for helping me.
W: You are welcome.
