How would you respond if a coworker shared a personal struggle with you? Would you tell them that's not appropriate for the workplace or would you treat them like a friend?

Treat them like a friend. Sometimes we just need to listen as others just need someone to talk to. Give advice if asked and always be compassionate and respectful towards others. Never know other people's struggles. Sometimes being an open ear and friendly is more than others may have or need.

I would just give a listening ear It can be hard to express yourself and even harder to try to give advice to someone who thinks there's no solution Just give a listening ear
