    Pick a coworker you don’t hate.

    Ask if they want to join you for lunch.

    If they agree, invite them again. Re-invite until it’s expected. Have them bring coworkers they don’t hate, or more likely they’ll bring people to you. All of a sudden, you have a friend group.

    Now, start talking about workplace grievances. When your friend group is agitated to the point of mobilizing, you have yourself a union organizing committee

        Do you really hate all of your coworkers, or do you despise your job so much that any inconvenience is attributed to the messenger and not the boss

      Nah that’s just work friends. Those aren’t real friends. You will lose them when you change jobs.

      Go to the same place every day. Become a part of the scenery. Eventually people will approach you because you are familiar. Invite them to take a seat. Friends.
