Difference between a colleague and a friend

When I was in my previous job and thinking of changing my career, I read some books about careers because I didn’t want to fail or regret. Among them, I was especially impressed by a book called “Scientifically-
Best Job”, which influenced me in fact.
It is about various different factors that affect choosing your career path. There were two factors that impacted me most. 1)When you say you chose your career “by intuition”, it is often only a justification you fabricate afterwards.　2)When you have more than 3 friends at your workplace, your satisfaction for life rises by 96% and your satisfaction for your salary increases twice as much. If you have 3 best friends at your workplace, your motivation for work rises up to 700%.
Of course these data is not quite scientifically critical, but as I had believed that too much attachment feeling to your colleagues was just dangerous, this slightly changed my viewpoint.
Maybe this kind of mindset is useful to work comfortably. But it doesn’t ultimately help you. The effort to keep the best human relationships at workplace can result in only to be exploited. Colleagues are still dangerous as friends that you totally devote your heart to, this idea was built in me very concretely after I read a book called “The End of Burn Out” by Jonathan Malesic. What work as an insurance that will eventually help you is to have several parallel aspects/worlds/spaces of life, such as your family, neighbours and friends who have common interests.

同僚と友達の違い
いま、米国に本社がある企業の日本の法人に勤務しています。前の勤務先にいて転職を考えていたとき、転職に失敗したくなくて何冊か本を読みました。中でも「科学的な適職」という本が最も具体的で、実際に影響を受けたと思います。色々な要素について書かれていましたが最も印象に残ったのは以下の2点の出張です。1)「直感」で仕事を選ぶのは、後から自分の判断を正当化する言い訳でそう言っているに過ぎない　2)職場に「友達」がいると、それだけで仕事の満足度が上がる。職場に3人以上の友達がいる人は、人生の満足度が96%上がり、同時に自分の給料への満足度は2倍になる。
職場に最高の友人が3人いれば、仕事のモチベーションは700%上がり作業のスピードも上がる。
これはもちろん一面的なデータに過ぎないけれど、職場の人に心理的にアタッチメントを感じすぎることは危険とばかり思っていたので、少し見方が変わった。おそらく心地よく働くという意味では大事なのだろう。しかし、会社にとって都合よく搾取されるために職場の人間関係を良くするのは本末転倒なので、全面的に心を預ける対象としては職場はやはり危険と思う(この点は、バーンアウトに関する本を読んで強く刷り込まれた)。家族、趣味の友人などの幾つかのパラレルな世界を持っておくことが、人生の保険になるだろう。
