> Ah yes, because all the companies that have toxic cultures where nobody likes each other are thriving right? I think as with most things, you need a balance. If you have an active dislike of someone because of rude behavior, the chances that you're able to collaborate and work on something together is nil.

So the solution in your view to select with "cultural fit" first. My solutions is proper management and clear communication without bias.

You are right. It is about the balance. Balance but with preferences towards skillset and adequate professional behavior.

The workplace must be objective place. And to bring a balance, companies must abandon sentimental or "politically correct" agendas. This is place for work. Not some "brotherhood", "family and friends" kindergarten created with subjective selection at the get go.

You go to work to produce value and exchange this for money. If monetary award and participation in value creation process is not enough, and the goal is to model people behavior toward "trends" things will go south fast.
