you might be an introvert, passionate about your job, or simply old enough to disregard friendships at work because you already have enough friends and a family.

The coworkers I like the most are the ones that come to work, don’t like drama, do their job and go home. That’s what I try to do.

However, there are always some established cliques who know how to play the unit / supervisor and get away doing much less, even feeling entitled to order you around, even though they are not your supervisor.

To people who experience this. How do you tolerate it? Even after changing jobs, this can happen at your new workplace, maybe it happens in every workplace?

Do you want to focus on your job or a social club ?

If that matters, then it’s part of the job, not a social club

No its not. Its what happens when you get a bunch of people in the room. The job description does not mention socializing with people.

Well if there’s a choice - social club. What’s even the point of having a job if you work all day just to survive and then try to squeeze socializing in the little time that remains until you need to sleep

Post said “if you like doing your job”

So discussion on changing work life balance isn’t relevant.
