company for almost all different reasons It s a lot more exciting and you re going to be treated most importantly like a person And it would be nice to have the relationships with your coworkers like a human relationship instead of just one giant building M You ve got a good point about the personal relationships but that can also work against you If someone has a good tight relationship with the boss maybe they re going to get the promotion and you re going to get passed over That kind of closeness doesn t really seem fair W Well that is a good point But most of the people working at a small
