I once was interviewed by Citrix and the Cambodian that interviewed me told me "We work hard, but we play hard too." Which my response was "What exactly does that mean?" I guess no one ever challenged him on it before because he was just flabbergasted and did not even have an answer."We take the team out for drinks on a friday night and go-carting some Saturdays. No, you can't decline and spend time with your family. What kind of a team player are you?"
So what are you are really saying? That "playing hard" involves drinking and if I don't go out with you on a Friday night that I am not a team player?
I'm not, but I've met some managers who did.
My comment was a guess as to what that phrase could have meant (and what I've seen it interpreted as at some places)
