This is a bit of a generalization. I've come away from work with some very good friends. But I've also been in the situation where socializing was specifically disincentivized. The work culture matters a lot; if you're micromanaged every minute of the day you're going to have a bad time. What you're describing sounds to me like more specifically corporate culture, and more in the executive realm than your average worker bee.
Perhaps it's trite to say so but if anything, the fact that so many people hate their job is above all an indictment of capitalism.
You are probably right. But I'm not talking so much about hating the job. More the mindset of "we are coworkers and therefore not friends"
