What was the exact moment that made you realize your company was toxic?

As far as I know, I’ve never been docked points for not sharing more with co-workers, but it’s certainly something I’ve been accused of in the past. That is, it’s been said I was “closed off” or “not chatty.” But I’m at work to work. Not to make friends. Not to participate in some sort of compulsory-attendance social club. I do the job. I sign off. That’s it.

I’m a unicorn so I can and do get away with a lot, but I’ve never understood the extrovert pitiful need to turn work into some sort of social chitchat play area rather than somewhere to achieve business tasks in as short a time as possible. So I don’t participate in that at all and leave any Slack channels anyone puts me in about that ASAP, etc.
