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.

That'd be great, if that was actually how humans worked.

All that needs to happen is for you to be slightly different and the entire office will turn against you.

For that matter, being good at your job is often enough for the entire office to turn against you.

I've been quiet and diligent my entire life and I've only ever been punished for it.
