  Yeah but not all people need or want that. I agree with op. Comradery makes the job easier.

    But you can’t expect it from others who don’t have the same needs.

      Isn’t that the whole point of hiring people that fit the company culture? I’ve worked at both types of places in different stages of my life. Both can feel good or bad depending on where you’re at. Don’t try to change the job to fit your needs. Find a different one.

        The words “company culture” always make me laugh.

        Company culture is the first to go out the window when shit hits the fan.

        People being let go for speaking their minds, în the most respectful manner, by a company that “values openness”.

        Culture being changed to fit the current corporate needs.

        “Company culture” is nothing but corporate 🐂💩.

        Don’t drink the corporate kool-aid, kids.

    Not all people want to fake the “office family” dynamic.

      I 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.

      You’re missing the point. For some people, it’s not faking it

        I’m not missing the point. For most people it is fake and used as a tool against them. The “office family” is a tactic utilized by employers to make workers complacent without raising benefits. It’s in the same toolbox as “pizza parties” and “PTO donation”.

    But they say they are chatting about video games and joking around, what more do you want?

    It’s work tho, so it stays there. You have to get on with someone really well to want to see them all day at work and then after as well.

      True. Me and a friend of mine used to work together and live together. Then we’d go home after work, get drunk and play video games just to wake up and do it all over. Granted thar was years ago.

      I did work with my now wife at one point. But we never actually hung out too much when we were working together because we were management and she would always go hang out with staff which I wouldn’t do

        I had a friend who I worked with and then lived together. But we were friends first who happened to share a job.

    Its a cultural thing that definitely exists where I live

    Not only that but it makes it easier to care about one another, which gives a greater incentive to unionize.

  I totally agree with you that I don’t need to make friends at work. I 100% clock out at the end of the day and make a hard cutoff between personal and work life. I can even work with people I personally dislike just fine, as long as they’re not making things harder for others.

  But OP was talking about camaraderie, which is mostly just about being generally pleasant to be around - as Merriam-Webster defines it, “a spirit of friendly good-fellowship”. Nobody likes to deal with the moody guy who doesn’t want to talk to anyone either. At the other extreme from what you’re describing, one starts leaning into “making things harder for others”.
