I think PC culture is maybe a problem here.

I worked in an F50 and for political reasons ... emotions are just not allowed.

I personally don't mind a little bit here and there. Someone gets angry, argues, whatever. It's life. As long as it's not personal.

I worked at startups and we used to debate, hardcore, all the time. No harm done. At the F50, it was too politically costly - everyone is trying to 'one up' one another, so it's about making as 'few social mistakes as possible' - and getting the occasional 'win' and making sure you kiss your boss's butt.

That's it.
