I have burned bridges possibly by being competitive when I could have been friendly. On the other hand, it could have been I just didn't speak loudly enough and long enough to send the, "you are my underling" message. I'm not really sure what it is. People in a professional setting don't behave normally though, or professionally.

Seconding the professional myth.

Especially in a startup, there's neither time, room, nor incentive to abstract away the leaky bags of chaos that are human resources.
