Know the people you work with..

Do you know the people you worked with?

Working 5 days a week, 8 hours a day.. 40 hours a week and you don't even know the person around you?
 It always said that it is important to keep a professional relationship with those you work with.
But would it hurt if you know them a little more?
Get  to know them.
Why?
The way I see it there is more advantage to it than disadvantage.
You could get a little assistance even if it is out of scope of your officemate and will be given out of good will.
You will get little favors.They get to stand up for you.
In short giving your working environment a little ease.
How do you do that?
Well get to know what they are into. The trends in the office.
If that doesn't fit to your character, Try short greetings and short conversations.
These things are not being taught but it is good to know that you have to be nice to your officemates for your own benefit.
