My friend is having problems at work. Is it ok to talk to him about it?

It depends on the situation and your relationship with him. If you’re a good friend, I think it would be appropriate to offer support and advice if he asks for it. However, if you have a more distant or formal relationship, then it might not be appropriate. You should consider how close you are to him and what his expectations of you are before deciding whether or not to talk to him about his work situation.
