    I have even been threatened with termination at work for that. I simply cannot make small talk at work and more than half of the department are tongue wagging gossips that I cannot interact with at all beyond the barebones job requirements. My supervisor sees this as anti teamwork

      Yeah, work makes us cone in twice a week to “interact with our peers”, but I work with people on different continents let’s do I’m not interacting with them either way. Anyhow, I got yelled at for not eating lunch with “the group” when I just needed some downtime

      Even using zoom isn’t any less hectic when you’re juggling multiple tasks with multiple people on multiple time zones
