A friend you made at work is a real friend.

A work colleague who you are friendly with is not necessarily a real friend

I get that but I feel like the whole "work friends are not real friends" statement is meant to be taken as a black-and-white categorization.

Like never expect anything to go beyond "hey, how was your weekend," if it's a coworker saying it sort of thing. As if it's an encouragement to put energy into fostering relationships that aren't tied down to your workplace.

I got one of my coworkers a PS3 as a Christmas gift. To me that's a lot more than a simple token gesture of amicability that supposedly comes from being in a workplace.
