Even if you don't mix personal life and work, it may happen that your closest friend works at a competing organization... How could this happen?
... You with Tania friends since high school, when I was sitting at a Desk. No, you, of course, was later transplanted to this losers Dostovalov, but true friendship does not rust. And you all lessons (except the Russian, who led the homeroom teacher), however, as all classmates, sat, as wanted. Tanyuha "for friendship" with you I went to study in naros, and you both become economists, and then went to work in firms selling modern home appliances. And now you're competing...

Alka only recently graduated from the Institute, which threw even 5 years ago, having flown from his Bit. But he forced her to graduate in marketing and when the child went into the garden, even made to work. And now you're competing...

Gone are the days when all enterprises were state-owned, and the competition was just lacking. It was only socialist competition, in which the losers, and the winners had one common goal - the construction of communism. Now, in an age of fierce competition, friendship with a competitor, you will not forgive.

You can blame what you told the competitors about the company's strategies, and they behaved so that plans your company miserably failed. Or, if the conditions of the bonus shares trade was a little similar to the conditions of the campaign carried out by your competitors will blame you. There must be extreme...
Secondly, you will become very vulnerable. Friendship with competitors will be the trump card in the hands of your enemies. At the right moment they will not hesitate to tell or remind the boss that you are friends with the Deputy Director of the LLC "Ratex".
Thirdly, at any time you can blame the lack of loyalty to the company.
- Darling, how can you be friends with people who want our company bankruptcy? - ask your boss. - You that, quite indifferent to the fate of our company?..
