You appear to be one of those "people persons". Awesome, great for you! Still though, please don't project your personality traits to everyone and try make them sound as absolute ideals. Avoiding talking with people "about more than work" and generally keeping an arm's length from "company culture" (whatever that means) is a major reason some of us have started (or can't wait to start) working remotely, more than location or any other factor.
- justincormack 14y agoThanks for being honest that the reason you want to remote work is because you don't want to interact with people. That is somewhat orthogonal to the OP though.
- calinet6 14y agoYou have a valid point, and I readily recognize and appreciate the various personality types and interaction styles people have. I am actually generally an introvert who has developed some people skills over the last ten years or so. I am not always a "people person;" I simply recognize the advantages and see what makes a company tick, or not, and I think personal interaction is one of the big reasons. After all, a company is a group of people, and interaction between people is one of the key features of a growing business weather or not it is your personal preference. I'm not saying that you can't do well without being a "people person" and I absolutely do not mean to project my preferences on others. My statements were observations based on a variety of people at several companies, and seem to be true for most cases. YMMV. In any case, these ideas are still good to think about and evaluate.
