This is also the consequence of corporations encouraging cultures that blur the lines of work-life balance. People will bring life into work. Reap what you sow.
> try to get people to "bring their whole selves to work".
Ugh, that's messed up. In grade school I was forced to spend significant amounts of time interacting with classmates who I detested. They brought their "whole selves" and it was torture. I assume most people had this experience?
As an adult I appreciate being able to choose who I associate with in my free time. Since I'm forced to interact with certain people at work, at least give me the mercy of bland "professional" personas!
The far greater long term trend is to require a diminished, corporate-approved life form to show up every day. I suspect most people on this forum are too young to know any different way.
