Yes, I'm actually a manager and are mates with a few of my staff. This is because we were at the same level before I became a manager, and in my opinion, friendship should not have to change. Of course you have to be professional in a working environment, but neither friend should take advantage of each other's status, otherwise it will appear as favouritism and liberty taking. Outside the workplace and during lunchtimes, you should be able to do whatever you feel comfortable doing.

No, in work with us the supervisor is friendly with some staff and some of the others believe, including me, it's one rule for them and another for everyone else,

i had a boss who wanted to be a mate. he is a bloke and when things did not go his way he lost it big time. i was glad in the end that i kept my distance from him or i would have felt like a right berk now.

It can make it difficult if one of your mates f*****s up at work.
