When people smile and act overly nice in corporate settings, they are not being kind, they are deploying a shield. Extreme politeness is a tool used to keep you at a distance and prevent any real human connection.
It is the ultimate corporate cope because it allows people to stab you in the back while maintaining a perfectly clean public image. Genuine people are usually blunt and slightly aggressive, because they actually care enough to show their real thoughts.
The fake smile is just a social mask used by the weakest actors in the room to manipulate the hierarchy.
