Are you a likeable coworker? Does it matter to you? I feel like some people are so bold about not being particularly friendly and don't care, and I haven't decided whether it matters to me or not, and if I respect it.

To some, yes. To others, no. I don’t care about pleasing either group with my personality. I am who I am. I hope people speak about my competency, thoughtfulness, and how effective I am at what I do. I do not care at all if they think I am friendly.

I am. Not vanity I hope, but it’s consistent feedback in all reviews Ive had that my team likes me as a coworker and human.

It matters to me because I like comradery, and I like knowing that if needed my team would back me up.
I also personally think that having kind relationships with my team creates better work. I’m a lot less likely do give a favor to someone who is cold and unlikeable.

It depends on if you want to develop your career or not. Unfriendly people don't get very far at work or in life. Being friendly doesn't mean you have to be cheery and chatty. Polite, kind, and be a good listener is a good start.

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.
