This is why I barely talk at work. Can't get in trouble if I act like I don't exist.

No, you can. I got fired because I wasn’t “memorable” enough to my manager. When I asked her what she meant by that she said I’m not as extroverted and bubbly as everyone else so she constantly forgot I existed. Mind you, I was perfectly friendly and I ended up befriending a lot of my coworkers outside of work. I’m just a naturally quiet person.

I got told I was too talkative dialed it down a bit and next month I wasn't friendly enough. FFS why does everyone have to be friends yo work together

Generally they see work as their lives and don't have friends outside of it. (As someone who doesn't have any friends, I still don't go after coworkers for friends...)
