That's a very interesting point. It reminds me of some large-company
offices I have visited.
My worry would be that this is a self-reinforcing process. That drama
would drive out people with no taste for drama, increasing the fun gap
between drama and serious work.
Is that inevitable? I hope not, but all the solutions that pop to mind
involve... more drama.
