It’s certainly worth the effort. Everyone should routinely ask if they’re getting what they want from their work. My partners and I had just such a conversation yesterday. We’re not always successful in getting everything we want, but stopping and talking about what is and isn’t working provides a good starting place.

We must be co-workers. Our culture is similar to what they were describing. I love my work but not the work place. Everyone is very cautious because of the culture. I think that it is OK to have fun in the workplace, but there is such a fear that no one can enjoy and be happy. THere is plenty of meaningfull work but the fear is so intense it can’t be enjoyed. I am going to try to apply the principles that you have described and see if i can get buy in from others.
