1. If the reason for sacking him had been not enough socialising I would have stood against. However, it seems the company blamed the dismiss on his poor attitude, so the story is not cristal clear.
2. I would consider my co-workers as “boring” if they did not make any effort for being nice or having even a small chat with their mates. Nevertheless, I think we should be respectful with other’s decisions when it comes to out of office hours.
3. I consider they can help that co-workers get to know each other better and in that way build up a charmer and more enjoyable day-to -day life at work.
4. In my opinion, it’s good making plans with work mates sometimes, but, when it comes to a very absorbing job, it is also good to stablish certain limits between it and your private life.
