No, that's HR justifying its existence.

Plus that's for higher stature service based roles, not warehouse logistics.

It's also mostly bullshit.

Teams work because they have the right combination of skills, both personal and technical, high EQ and IQ, leadership and ownership.

Whether or not you fall backwards into a team's arms or have to participate in childish games is not relevant.

For most people, liking and being friends with the people you work with is a huge factor in how much you like the job and are willing to stay. Most of the times I’ve left a job it’s been triggered by the people I liked talking to leaving and the remaining team members being dull and anti social.
