This gives me the feeling that you really believe that pretending to not be human during work hours makes one more productive. As far as I know it doesn't work like that even for assembly line jobs.

Stop serving cake and having useless meetings, Karen, get a life and leave people alone.
I've worked on the assembly line, it was like being in the army, they screamed at us like drill sergeants to make us work faster. I'll leave it up to you to decide how humanising that environment is.
Where do you think all the nice things come from, getting shit done and not from grooming each other all day.

People just want to get their work done and proceed with their own lives outside of work, I think maybe this individualism is actually what the article is complaining about.
