My husband's company works like this. The boss' philosophy is to hire the best people (note: people, not subject matter experts), and they'll find a use for them.
Heck, I'd love to work there (except for the overtime - but then, most of them don't even mind that, since there is such great camraderie and energy).
I do wonder how well something like this scales to a large organization. I can definetly see things like harassment or discrimination lawsuits being an issue with a philosophy of hiring productive 'friends'.
