Comment on Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace?

  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 fitting company culture” is just how racists get away with not hiring qualified candidates.

  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.

        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.

    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”.

        Gotta disagree. I’ve always had the belief that if you’re in management, you don’t get to play the comradery game with staff because that can easily be perceived as preferential treatment or fraternization. Management has their connections with other managers. Staff should use their comradery against management. However, your perspective isn’t wrong either. I just believe that even if you’re faking the “office family,” it still makes work that much easier

  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.

        I met this guy at work. It’s a very long story, but the short and skinny is I was homeless and he and his mom gave me a home. I suppose he’s more like a brother than anything else. They never asked for anything in return. He just wanted to hang out and get into shenanigans. And shenanigans we certainly got into

  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.
