If we are working in coldly psychopathic "rational economic actor" companies that will lay off our expendable employees whenever it raises the stock price, isn't it hypocritical for us to expect such prospective employees to pretend that we are in a human relationship? Shouldn't we expect them to treat us with coldly mercenary objectivity?
The company, yes. The employees you meet within the company, no. They're going to move around a lot, and it's always nice to be on someone's "cool guy" list when you encounter them at a different company, or as a client.
