Comment on Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?
Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 3 months agoI feel like that’s a different thing. “We’re a family” is a forced perversion of actual meaningful relationships with co-workers.

I will concede there is a spectrum of professional familial attitudes.

I do agree though, that the forced family is the worst.
At some point, someone found out that people who get along with their coworkers work better and like their job better. So, some dense HR directors thought, “If we want people to work better, we should force them to be friends!”
Then you get mandatory team-builders that maybe two people enjoy, and the rest are thinking about how they’d rather be spending their time.

But this is literally how family works for the first 20 years of your life. You don’t get to choose one. You are assigned one from birth :D
