You make a lot of good points. What I'm saying is simply that I don't want to be in a social situation where I am forced to befriend someone who holds the sword. The top down structure makes friendship inherently disingenuous. Friendship can only happen when you are equals.
Well, you can aim for some level of trust, support, and mutual compassion. The corporation is an uncaring machine hellbent on stockholder value.
I'm friends with quite a few former direct reports. Even a couple I had to fire. And I am friends with several former bosses.
It's a role, and a responsibility
Some filthy folk might try to know you better to manipulate or control you so having some guard up is wise.
Personally I think of people as coworkers all the way up to the CEO. We're all human.
I hope you get to work with inspiring bosses or leaders so you can recognize them when you are shopping for a new boss.
