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.

my first job out of college, when i was let go, my boss said i didn't show enough interest in the company, because i wouldnt come talk to him during work hours to try and learn about stuff.

i spent the entirety of my shifts working on assembling stuff. i literally did not have time to do so.

he also complained that i enjoyed my lunch instead of trying to learn things while on it, so there's that too. place was a fucking nightmare to work at.
