TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
You're right, of course. No one benefits from anyone being snubbed, least of all the company itself. The best thing for employee morale isn't a hallway lined with motivational posters, but rather a building full of people who treat each other with decency and respect. Yet another happy example of why being a good person is also good for business.

I dunno...this is a bit cynical. Why shouldn't you be nice to everyone? Of course, I see a lot of people who snub everyone but their peers, and it doesn't see to hurt them.
At a previous job I was coming in from lunch with my new manager, and I said hello to everyone...the parking garage guy, the security guards, the admin...he said rather sarcastically, "who are you, the mayor?"
