I'm not going to lie, the assumption that everybody necessarily has career-ending confidences to share with their friends is very strange to me.

How people bond with their friends is by sharing confidences which builds trust between them.

They are not confidences if saying them publicly won't come back and bite you.

> everybody

I didn't say everybody, you don't need to turn it into an absolute to make your point.

I heard about an entertainer for kids who had a radio show back in the day. At the end of one session, he thought the mike had been turned off. But it was still hot, and he groused to the studio "That ought to hold the little bastards for a while."

Career ending.
