Some want to draw a clear distinction between their work and free time. TikTok user Sarah, who goes on the platform as @moodynomad333 is one of these people. But her views got her in big trouble at the last company she worked for.
In a now-viral video, the woman detailed her experience of in a marketing department of an architecture firm. She focused on keeping strictly professional relationships with her co-workers.
“All the architects and designers would hang out, and I didn’t want to hang out with them because we didn’t have anything in common. Plus, they were all friends from school or from doing the same job, and I was just an outsider,” she said.
However, the higher-ups didn’t like this. In fact, their view of how the office should operate was so different from Sarah’s that eventually, they issued an ultimatum: either socialize with your co-workers or get fired.
Seeing it as an impossible lose-lose choice, Sarah simply packed her things and resigned.
