Abstract

Olivia and Jason were close friends at University and shared student accommodation for some years; Olivia began working within Org X eight years ago and recommended Jason for a role when Org X was recruiting and Jason was hired. They have been within the same department for two years. Emily also works in the department and, over the past five years, she and Olivia have become increasingly close. They now work together on projects whenever they can and, more importantly to both of them, they have developed a strong friendship which is maintained outside the workplace. They meet for lunch on the weekend, baby-sit each other’s children and holiday together.
