Several times recently I have travelled by train and observed people in work talking with their colleagues. Usually there is a more senior person with someone more junior. Often the older person has to impress the younger member of staff or look "cool". The younger person looks in awe of the senior person and has to set a good impression as future advancement may depend on what his impressions of you are.
Having been retired now for 11 years it is amazing how silly all this looks. Work matters seem so important at the time, when really they are not.
I guess this is how we all behave or have behaved in the past. I am not saying it is wrong, but when you can stand back, it does look posed.
