I worked for several companies like this early in my career. Every seemingly healthy job eventually became awkward and toxic.
Nowadays I work for a consulting firm. There are several cons to being a consultant, but one of my favourite things about this scheme is that employees only care about my work.
To these people I'm the "X technology guy" who's there to take care of some projects. To my actual employer I'm the "X technology guy" they meet once in a while to discuss project progress.
I find that I'm respected as a professional now, people value my work and seek me out for professional reasons instead of going for a beer after work. I clock in, get things done, and clock out. That's it.
