Culture fits for introverts suck

I was going to comment on a post, but lost it and basically the OP was talking about how they were fired during their probation period because a worker didn’t like them. I read it as juvenile at first (because it is) but apparently it’s due to failure in a culture fit. It then hit me that most of my jobs that I either quit or terminated from were because of that. I’m a good worker, and have always been told by upper management however I’m an introvert and don’t do anything besides work. Outside of my first job, I never went voluntold meetings, work parties that were out of work/office hours, I didn’t hang out with coworkers, never accepted friend requests, never went outside of small talk and discussed issues outside of work, etc. I just did my job and left on time or when someone was able to…

I just did my job and left on time or when someone was able to release me. I put my two weeks in on my last job and was emailed how they appreciated my application but they didn’t have any available positions (yet were and are actively hiring for the specific position, location, and hours I applied for).

It also doesn’t help that I’m neurodivergent so I suck at social cues. I just want to do what I’m paid for and go home.
