No matter how people perform on any side, It sounds a little draining to work with people you don't like, regardless of the reason of dislike. Some people aren't in control of that so they just suck it up, whereas others get a say over their lives. The question is whether they will find sufficient incentive to prioritize company interests where they differ. One thinks of that when one joins a team with a lead that is a center of social activity outside work, and whether one has the energy to participate. When social dynamics are involved things are always a bit more complicated than the performance which strictly happens at work.
If people don't want this, I think it's up to the organization to do this, as opposed to the vigilant wall of an ethic. Presumably the organization doesn't want little cliques, and should structure their incentives properly.

Which is why people do get fired all the time if they rub their managers or the rest of the team in the wrong way. That's why making blanket statements that "all our firings are due to pure performance reasons" is such a blatant lie. I'd like to see the manager who puts up with someone they just personally dislike, for the most mundane reasons, every single day, for months. The article states that upper management also encourages managers to fire employees, which makes this decision just a little easier and more likely.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoAll we need now is for generally disliked to become a protected class.
- colejohnson66 8y agoCorrect me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that called “right to work”?
- derekp7 8y agoNope, "right to work" just means that you aren't forced to join the union.
- PhasmaFelis 8y agoAs far as I can tell, "right to work" means "you can quit any time for no reason, and we can fire you any time for no reason, and we're going to pretend that this is an equal trade."
- ams6110 8y agoThat's called "at-will" employment. Right to work is specifically about not having to join a union or pay dues.
- threatofrain 8y agoI'm fine with workers as a whole receiving more explicit protections as a class.
