Let's help each other manage these pressures because let's pool our resources.

Let's pool our know-how.

Like really start working together, which would be good for us because the more bonded we feel, the more belonging we feel in the workplace.

It is a great mental health boost to feel that sense of belonging and camaraderie and togetherness.

So it works on all fronts.

It's beyond enemy.

It is incredibly painful and damaging.

People, when they feel ostracized at work, not even ostracized, but they don't feel a part of the group, people will leave.

I always say to people, when you're looking to jump, it is the people that matter more than your comp.

If the difference in comp is minor...

But the difference in camaraderie, in the feeling of who you're working with, it just matters so much for your mental health, for your physical health, for your longevity, truly, for your physical health.

That matters a ton.

So feeling bonded.

And again, just find your work tribe, your mini work tribe, your team within the team.

That's why office politics, when people are pitted against one another, and they are too much today because these companies merge, people see it coming like crazy.

a year away and then you have two competing departments.

Half of the people are not going to survive.

They know it.

Meanwhile, you guys need to work together till we figure that out.

You're literally creating this gladiatorial situation which is so hostile and tense and people go to work.
