The clear thing here..
You're way of thinking is extremely close-minded... you're actually misrepresenting what I said to make your argument, because you're determined to make your point.
Which, as I said, goes a long way. Your way of thinking is almost entirely pragmatic - and you know what, surrounded by other entirely pragmatic people, that works well. But around a group of people who value interpersonal relationships a bit more than you do, you would indeed be the asshole. That would create a pain point in yours or others' work days.
And the biggest point of all of this, that you seem to miss, is nobody is forcing anything on you. The thing you dont like, is a style of culture, and you would avoid that culture, where others look for it... which is the entire point of the culture fit in the first place... you're making the argument FOR the culture fit by your very actions, you're proving the vast difference in cultures, and how they don't play nice together very well.
You wouldnt want to work somewhere that values the things i value - and people that value what i value wouldnt want to work for you, probably - and thats ok - and thats why the whole concept exists and is important.

Wait, seriously? I rarely say this on forums. But, fuck you. I don't value interpersonal relationships? Literally the reason I live where I live is my approximately 50 good friends, about 20 close, and about 5 intimate friends. I could make a lot more money moving even 100 miles away, but I'd lose these relationships. So, again, fuck you. You're right. I'm not a cultural fit for companies like yours. Tell me where to apply so I can proudly display my rejection letter with the attached resume with big red "POOR CULTURE FIT" stamp.
- jmcdiesel 10y agoOverreact much? At no point did I attack you or deserve that response. You've made it clear that your relationships are work aren't all that important to you. The context of this entire conversation is entirely focused on work... so why you would jump to relationships in general is baffling. You're really looking for a fight that isnt there, thats why you misrepresent what I said over and over...

- jmcdiesel 10y agoPointed out that you're thinking close mindedly isn't an insult. You're seeing only from your perspective. And saying that in a group of people who think more along the lines of what I described, that you would be considered an asshole isnt calling you an asshole, its saying that in that situation you people would consider you that. In the same way that me, being a thinking-rather-than-feeling person, am often accused of being an asshole by feelers... Neither of those are attacks on you. I never said your viewpoint was wrong, I even said its valid, but it doesn't play well with people of the other viewpoint, and that neither is better, just different... Seriously dude, stop looking for the fight, there isn't one. You're taking offense way too easily here...
