Employee steals coworker’s idea and gets praised by boss, but flops and misses tight deadlines when original idea-owner refuses to help: 'She says were a team and should help each other'

Making friends at work feels like speed dating with LinkedIn profiles. You're thrown together by circumstance, forced to make small talk over stale coffee, and hoping someone shares your love of memes or at least your hatred of the printer. It's hard to know who someone really is when your main bond is complaining about work. Just because you get along during lunch doesn't mean they'd be your friend outside the office. Sometimes, you're lucky and those relationships blossom into real friendships. Other times, the coworker bestie vibe doesn't always hold up under pressure.
