Anita wouldn’t have made it through her 20s without her work friends. But now that she’s a manager and working in a hybrid office, she’s noticed that work friendships don’t come as easily as they used to. A psychologist answers her burning workplace relationship questions and dives into the surprising amount of data about work besties. Plus, a Gen Z writer urges her to re-think the importance of work as a primary social hub.
