> The argument seems to be that your co-workers aren't your friends I find strong friendship in small companies and fast-growing companies with a reasonable culture. When a company grows fast and establishes a reasonably fair culture, there will be more collaboration and comradeship. The sense of we having achieved something together is common. In contrast, in a company that has little growth or more people than the quantity of work, people play for a zero-sum game, power struggle ensues, and friendship disappears in the air. It's kinda like Robert Owen's Community Experiment. In the end of the short 2-year life of Owen's community, the neighbors hated each other, even though they went to Owen's community to build a more fair and just society.
