Value of the Friendship and Ending It

Before considering ending the friendship, it is important to evaluate what else the friendship offers outside of work and whether it provides practical or emotional support. Ending the friendship would mean no longer talking during work, not making attempts to hang out outside of work, and modifying expectations. If the friendship is primarily work-related and the extra hangouts never materialize, it might be best to just adjust expectations.
