This is an ad hominen if I ever saw one. You basically disliked the message and felt entitled to condemn the author's personality as immature and used that as the basis to dismiss their opinion as a misunderstanding.



I'm not convinced. Coworkers aren't friends, family, or therapists. They're (hopefully) present to do a job and go home, same as you.


The fact that a big chunk of romantic partnerships and friendships start in the workplace among co-workers tells me a quick cynical dismissal of co-workers as a shallow and single dimensional relationship is not very insightful.


Conversely viewing your coworkers as a massive extended dating pool suggests to me a level of social desperation that's hardly worthy of discussion much less serious consideration. That relationships form at work isn't in question, that's not the point of the exercise however.
