Our society promotes double life and double identities in the workplace?

I noticed that there are many people throughout their adult lives are so completely different than private. Now I do not mean that you should keep the job his private life under cover of course, that's for sure. And I do not think in professional life to deal objectively with colleagues, and of course, is more focused on work. It is also clear.
What I mean is that there still are many people who seem to have a different personality than the job privately.
I know a few such people. In tough job and really anything but pleasant, hardly have a suit, you can see it again.
Since then we have an ice cold money from people in private while the same person is the most friendly neighbor.
The worst I experienced even a former girlfriend who worked in the personnel department, and when I visited them once at work, she was an employee in public for the snail.

Hmm, that is, I believe, not only in professional life, but at almost all levels.
I do not see me in only themselves but also with many friends and acquaintances.
With a friend it goes so far that I basically do not recognize the back when he is at work. Even in the chat I'd get him if I would take his ID is not true does not perceive as the man who he is in private personal use.
But he is an extreme.
In diluted form on almost all the meets and sometimes it's strange when you get to know a completely unknown facet of a person whom you thought you knew well.
The fact is, however, that work and many leisure activities are completely alienating activities. That makes this behavior naturally feed.
So I got to hear many times before, I was too soft-hearted - and that was not meant as a compliment.
In the "tough" business world has to exploit his advantage just mercy - even if it is obviously unfair.
That reminds me, and certainly many others, just difficult.

I know why I'm independent!
The idea of ??an A. .. need to be hole in one corner of the elbow Circus still be nasty to "need" as a colleague, that's disgusting for my taste.
I am of the opinion that one "must" not A. .. his hole, only logical. nothing more. Be hard to say, be the nasty? Determines his heist that his heartless? I'm afraid because our society has, respectively, which many people misunderstand.
Who makes his people down publicly in the job, which may be a sign of strength, it is not proper. Criticism belongs to the office and definitely not played in front of customers.

I struggle with this problem since time immemorial.
The basic problem is that there are over six billion individuals, and perhaps just 1400 different job descriptions. Have to squeeze into the 6 billion individuals somehow. The results are the discrepancies that you describe.
The crux is, in my opinion, the unhealthy over-specialization of our society. If everyone could make more of everything, we would not have this situation. Of course this is not so in our civilization possible. The rape of our minds is the price we pay for the high achievements of civilization of our time.

Well, that's probably (!!!) Unfortunately, the signs of time.
You usually get pressure behavior and policy, particularly in senior positions and have to pass on that pressure, otherwise the body's own risk. I know what I mean, for years have conducted an underground branch. There we were literally "incited" to be particularly hard to employees. If that target again, who was allowed to go.
So I went in voluntarily to self-but to have success, I must in the negotiations also have a super friendly demeanor and my "customers" literally in the A. .. . crawl But still better than to harass poor shop assistants!
In private life I'm actually rather too lenient ... once said in passing. In the evening fell, the mask as soon as I boarded my car. As if one changes clothes.
So completely but you can not switch off when one What do you do it again or attempt should.

If you can disconnect.
Your examples may look from the outside a little hard, but listen to me but to positive. If you would like to bring something, you can take a stand and be upheld even once.
The to do with the snail then comes to the sound.
I feel much worse if people take your work home with you and can not switch off and the opposites
your examples.

We live in a dog-and who has developed a responsible position want to keep this course.In business now prevail even different laws than in private life and I think it's perfectly fine if someone is the boss, also behaves like a boss, ie But not without reason that he should make his *ergebenen down.

i agree with you and even though i do not like it i am forced to act one way at work then after i get off work i can relax and be myself at my work i have to be all professional and customer focused and nice and smiling i have to bite my tounge to keep from saying what i want to say to some customers i understand that when working in retail you have to act a certain way and be nice to customers but i think the place where i work just takes it too far

Hi Gengeni,
That's true of most people I think. At work, I'm expected to act and dress a certain way and I do regardless of my mood. I work in the public and so no matter if I am in a terrible mood or have a lot going on in my life, I have to remain friendly and upbeat. It's what I get paid for. I once worked in an office. I hate business type clothes and prefer jeans and tees. Well, the job required me dress up. It paid well and I liked the job and so I did. I would hate to be put in the position of being a boss because that would mean having authority over others and that is so not my nature. Then again...it's all part of the job. Time and place for everything.

hello gengini,
i think it is true that people play different roles in different parts of their lives, and probably home and work are places we are most different.
though maybe the person we should most fear is the one who is nice out of their home, at work, for example, but nasty at home.
someone who appears a bit mean in their job but is nice at home, is probably a better person, than someone who is nice in their job and nasty at home.
i am confused though by what you mean when you describe your former girlfriend as being "an employee in public for the snail", what do you mean?
