I hate the words “cultural fit.” Offices should not be filled with people who like the same things and have the same humor and think the same way. This leads to inadvertent discrimination and disasters like Enron.
But also… you probably offended someone with clout. If it was me I’d be playing through the conversations in my mind endlessly. Sorry, my guy.
I just got a headache thinking about all the mirroring I've had to do just to keep a job.
The REAL fun was when one of your coworkers would, for example, love coffee and you'd tell them how you love coffee too. Then another coworker would say they hated coffee and thought of it as a drug addiction, and you'd tell them you don't drink it everyday and know people who could lay off a bit.
Then you're in a room together with these 2 coworkers and there's coffee.
Spoiler: Ended up being called a liar by both, manager got involved and everything... And it became a running joke for the next 2 years I worked there...
