Same. I get along with everyone at work and am even friends with my immediate coworkers. But the reality is if I stopped working there I'd lose touch with them within a short time. Part of that is probably since most of my co-workers aren't Jewish so we probably wouldn't keep up a relationship outside of work. But even the few other Frum women who work there, I don't think we'd stay friends if we didn't see each other all the time.

Nope.
Family is family
Friends are friends
Coworkers are coworkers
I try not to mix them together.

This. Friendliness but healthy boundaries.

If you're work is like family it's considered toxic

Sorry. I disagree. I love my job and refer to them as my extended family.
We have each other's back.
We argue like family.
We respect like family.
And my clientele I work with are truly a part of me and I considor them family.

No, because only family gets to use my skills and expertise for free.
That said, I really do like my job and co-workers. And a number are becoming friends. But at the end of the day, it's a job.

My old workplace was. My smachot were not complete without my work friends. Unfortunately my new work place is not at all. I miss the family environment terribly

My friend was headhunted by a big company just after she finished her doctorate. They were trying to tell her what a wonderful working environment it was, and how they had child care on the premises, and all joined in each others simchas, and how it was just like one big family.
She was married with four children, and told them, 'I already have a family. I'm looking for a job.' She got an excellent job with their rivals!
