I'm a manager and I call everyone on my team 'buddies'. It works well. I hate the traditional, stereotypical 'manager-employee' relationship, so I'm changing it. I make sure everyone is cracking jokes and saying dumb puns all the time, and you're allowed to swear on my team.
I'm taking the 'corporate' out of the office, and my team loves it.
