Having a good bunch of coworkers whom you become friends with makes the work a lot more enjoyable.
It can, sure, but that isn't the point of work or where most people fulfill their social needs. That is called finding community in suffering. During bank robberies and other hostage situations the victims also find ways to trauma bond and take their mind off of their current suffering, to the point where trauma bonded people are far more likely to be lifelong friends and partners than just random strangers.
In an ideal world where people magically get to do what they want to do and not worry about getting paid, your view point makes more sense. We don't live in that world though, and selecting applicants based on how much they're willing to fake being your friend just results in less competency and more work for everyone.
I get it. It sucks being forced to work to fulfill your basic needs.
But jeez, your perspective sucks. I bet you're a lot of fun to work with. 🙄
You know, even without capitalism, we'd all have to work to get something in return somehow. We all have different needs.
