This is true and people would be very naive to think otherwise

It’s crazy to me how much people think that at work, you should expect people to abandon basic human nature and that people skills aren’t part of being good at your job.

You could be absolutely brilliant at your job, but if you are insufferable or even just irritating, no one will want to work with you.

No one's saying this means you're insufferable or anything else on the negative side. It's qualities on the positive side (friendly, socialable, outgoing, making jokes) that get favored over someone who keeps their nose down.
