This is a thing? Wild. I live in the US but I would not have thought that's a trope for us. I've never had a job where coworkers didn't love hanging out together after work.
I suppose that's the online origin shining through, perhaps written by more loner-types who may find sociable coworkers irritating. I get it, I've rarely been part of the in-group; but I can't deny that for every loner that hates their coworkers, there are many more that genuinely enjoy each other's company.
I have found it to be a fairly prominent view, and it drives my crazy for some reason. See for instance this post from a few days ago
I do think it's a bit more mellow on Lemmy than it was on Reddit. But also a lot more people irrationally angry at anything job related as job=capitalism uwu
That post sounds like it's made by exactly the kind of person I suspected, haha. My car-break-taking neurodivergent self has been accused of "rudeness" over nothing throughout my life. It's not a work-specific thing, but a "misunderstanding neurodivergence" thing.
In response I developed a cheery mask that I wear to work. It's provided cushion and plausible deniability when I screw up, as people are more likely to know I don't mean any harm. But not everyone can mask, and not everyone wants to mask. It's a shame that so many people can't imagine others' perspectives that we're all forced to either work at hiding ourselves or be socially shunned.
