I read Tony Hsieh's book with hopes for an inspirational read. I came away from the book thinking that it totally sounded cult-like. Making one of the fundamental tenets of Zappos to be working with people with whom you'd like to drink after work sounded crazy, especially when the decision became not just drink together after work, but also move to an entirely different city where you don't know anyone else and don't plan to meet anyone else except those who are already part of "the group".

When people think like this, I get really worried. Like companies that tout the "Sunday test". Would you come into the office just to hang out with that guy on a Sunday, for no other reason, just want to hang out? At work, masks come on for various personal reasons. Outside of work, masks come off for various personal reasons. Rare is the person who can be the same person in work and out of work. And for the same reason, rare is the person who can suffice with a support network only at work.
