Otherwise?
Most people have a spring in their step and put their best foot forward when they are
in a new relationship (work or otherwise), but they stumble and lose their footing
trying to maintain relationships over the long term. Reality soon sets in that the
honeymoon phase is officially over.
In this sentence does 'work or otherwise' mean at a job and some places where you may be?
Thanks in advance!

I'd say that "otherwise" means "not an at-work relationship." It doesn't necessarily refer to "some (other) places." You could be having an affair with your brother-in-law
