Because if your social life is tied to work you'll stick around longer during the day and potentially do more work. You'll also opt to stay at a job that pays less or has worse benefits because it means leaving your friends.

I don't remember where this quote is from but i think it's useful.

We are not friends. Our interaction is because I'm paid to be here.

Something like that. I'm all for having comradery and if you happen to be friends then that's great. But often times, and i know I've fallen victim to this, we work too much and dont have social lives that exist outside of work.
