If dealing with awkwardness is your biggest concern, congratulations on your wonderful life.
One theory of management is to hire people who understand each other via common culture and language. Sounds like this manager has done that. Such a monolithic team can more easily work together in certain respects. A different approach is to hire diversely, which reduces a certain kind of cohesion while possibly creating more interdependence. I have become a fan of the latter way, but it does bring a lot of headaches for a manager.
- ihateolives 4y ago> If dealing with awkwardness is your biggest concern, congratulations on your wonderful life. This is such a narrow view on things. It's akin to saying that you can't complain about weather unless you're homeless. OP can have other problems in their life in addition to this as well, you're just projecting here that they must have sheltered life and don't have any "real" problems. > One theory of management is to hire people who understand each other via common culture and language. Slippery slope right there. Why would you hire a woman when team consists of all men that do regular male bonding things together after work? Why would you hire a 40+ year old with family when team currently is 25yr single guys? Generational gap would surely bring friction into communication and values, right? In many places that'd be called discrimination.
