re: #483 Aceofwhat?

It’s very hard to distinguish, and the best intentions can lead to the propagation of a bad meme. Hell, it was one of my heroes, Frank Gilbreth came up with the meme “A happy worker is a productive worker”, and I feel that it’s done a lot of good as it penetrated the business world.

With some companies like Google, however, and with many Japanese companies, there is a very clear advocation that your fellow employees should be your best friends, that you should socialize a lot outside of work.

Basically, to me, nearly every company that promotes the idea that employees are like family, or friends, is being shamelessly dishonest.
