I strongly prefer keeping my work self and non-work self separate. Maybe not quite to the extent of Severance, but there's still a significant difference between who I am at work and outside of work.
I'd agree that "bring your whole self to work" can be much more advantageous for employers, as serves to break down some of the boundaries in the work/life balance.

And when that boundary starts to fade, organizations can end up with employees who bring WAY too much of their whole self to work, where you end up with a workplace infested with politics, inappropriate discussions, and a lack of professionalism.
