This is just risk and reward at work. People subconsciously fear the consequences of offending someone in the work place, with very little upside most people prefer to just keep it about work and nothing else.
- smtddr 11y agoI know that's how I function. Any new gig I'm in(which happens to be right now), I start in super-professional super-PC mode. As I get to know my surroundings and happen to overhear other conversations and jokes, I get a better idea of the sensitivities of those around me. But yeah, I can totally see people(especially devs) just deciding to only talk work and nothing else and not even try/risk going into the casual social conversations. I'm too much of a people-person to survive in the workplace without knowing more about people's lives outside of work. I'd get depressed and quit eventually if I couldn't feel relaxed and chatty with people.
- qmalzp 11y agoIt's not even subconscious for me. I have a very small group of friends who know how I feel about most things, and everyone else gets the PC version.
- thenmar 11y agoWould you mind elaborating? What kind of views are you talking about?
- seivan 11y agoHaha this. :) Same here, from last job out of ~40, only kept in touch with 3. We meet once a week for coding, gaming, drinking and food.
