'They accused me of 'ruining their trip'': Responsible coworker bails on a work trip after catching his 'trusted' colleagues being sketchy in their Airbnb, he leaves them to fend for themselves then takes it to HR

Friendships with coworkers are a dice roll. 

You could be starting a lifelong camaraderie with a person who deeply understands your life or you could be embarking on a fast track journey to the HR complaints department. Separation of work and life is crucial if you intend to keep a job for longer than a few months. Because once you burn a bridge with a coworker, you're stuck picking up the charred pieces every day from 9 am to 5 pm. 

After many decades in the workforce, you get a keen eye for the sorts of friends you want to make in the workplace. Remaining amicable, of course, is a priority, but if you have a group of coworkers who clearly don't respect you or your boundaries, perhaps it's time to cut ties. This young man in our next story learned a valuable lesson about the dangers of making besties on the job after a work trip went south and he was stuck with the bill. Keep scrolling to see how this life lesson turned into a meeting with HR that'll likely leave his disrespectful coworkers fired—or worse.
