Sure, if there's an issue that's actively harmful or prevents stuff getting done, it would make no sense to let it go unaddressed. But having managers trying to optimize culture leads to open plan desks and mandatory office parties - shit that might improve the cohesion of the team, sure, but if your 10x left because they don't like it, then it's not entirely focused on productivity.
> If you don't, then you're letting the culture be dictated Lord of the Flies style.
Moreover this is implying that you think of your team as a bunch of children stuck on an island. I'd have more faith in professional adults to do their job. Hopefully, nobody is under the illusion that money comes out of the office printer.
Honestly, I'd want to hire someone who hates being an employee more than someone who doesn't. Then, I'd at least know that they're under no illusions, and smart enough to know that they'll have to work.
