Worked in corporate America at the VP level. You can "get along" as needed with people whom you despise or who do you wrong without the hugs. A polite hello or a handshake does just fine when you must encounter each other or work together. I know that were I to hug (or some other insincere demonstrative act) those in power who were overtly out to get me I could not have slept at night or looked in a mirror in the morning. I valued my self respect and personal integrity more than the possible or maybe not gains that overt brown-nosing that might have given me.
When sell yourself out to advance your cause by being a corporate brown nose, your peers and most importantly those who work for you are thinking (correctly) that you are equally insincere in your interactions with them.
I once respected Kraft.
