Only if the culture over values conflict avoidance. By other management philosophies, it is preferable to encourage (healthy) conflict, which can include waves of emotionality which can be uncomfortable for many people. It's a business, not a therapy zone, so that seems like an occasionally appropriate tradeoff.

I've definitely known people who seem to favor that approach (in both business and personal contexts). "Drama for its own sake", we might call it.

Yes, it can seem to sort of work for a while. But over time, not so well. Resulting in burnout, and the desire to seek greener pastures.
