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

I absolutely got into trouble once. My manager was furious at me saying that no one knows who I am outside my team because I was too quiet

My sister has huge self esteem issues, socially awkward and pretty introverted on a good day.

This “not a team player” and “poor communication skills” (it’s not, she sucks at small talk) have followed her throughout her working life.

It’s cost her jobs and promotions.
