This sounds like what HR wants you to think about your colleagues. Can’t organise if can’t trust your colleagues.
I am organized and I still am leery.
You don't need to trust your coworkers to organize. And they will take advantage of you if you work their shift etc and often will not reciprocate. You can acknowledge that coworkers aren't your friends while understanding that organizing is good for everyone. If someone is gonna try to sabotage your attempts at organizing that's just how it is but there's no reason to trust a coworker to pay you back. Also, I'm sorry but if you're putting people at risk I don't care how friendly you act to me I'm reporting you.
It is still true though.
The truth is that all your coworkers are not automatically your friends. You CAN become genuinely good friends with some though.
Agreed. This must be kept in mind. There will be people who enjoy being part of corporate more than they enjoy being good colleagues.
In some cases, but not across the board. In fact, if you don't trust any of your co-workers, I'd say there's a chance you are the problem. I've known people like this and my job is better without them.
