The company encourages employees to get to know each other but then doesn’t even give them enough time to legitimately connect. This is evident when Paul starts talking to Harrison but is quickly cut off by Kroner’s speech, underlining that the company doesn’t
actually care whether or not people connect with each other. This suggests that the company merely wants to
seem like the kind of place that fosters meaningful relationships. In other words, everything is extremely impersonal in this corporate environment, as made obvious by the fact that Kroner’s eulogy focuses exclusively on the former Pittsburgh manager’s value to the company, not on what kind of person he was.
