Damn, that is indeed creepy. Whatever happened to keeping workplace subject matter in the realm of business only?
Seriously? I’ve had 3 very different careers and a bunch of other odd jobs in between. Personal conversations happen all the time. I can’t imagine working in an environment so dry and stiff as what you describe nor would I want to. When we stop being humans, even at work, then the robots might as well take over the planet anyway.
