      Another ‘friend boss’ thing is also being completely blind to your own position of power. He thinks he can ‘chum around’ with anyone at the company, make ‘jokes’ about the quality of their work, etc. like he could with an equal. He doesn’t realize how scary that actually is, and thinks anyone who would say such a thing is just oversensitive. Validated by the fact that hardly anyone ever dares speaking up instead of just awkwardly smiling and nodding.

      You can literally hear the guys behind camera correct him (jokingly but yet with serious intent) with “coworkers” whenever he says “friends” then talking about them spending outside work hours time with him for either content or non work stuff.
