Got a coworker allergic to team events. Dinners, offsites, drinks? Hard pass. Free lunch? Houdini-level appearance. Fine, not everyone’s social, but he contributes nothing to team spirit. Barely speaks, ignores personal news. Someone’s relative passed? Silence. Manager had surgery? No response. Then there’s the disappearing act. If the boss isn’t around, he vanishes mid-day. Leadership’s noticing, so do we just let him collect his free meals or remind him this isn’t a ghosting gig?

Sounds like you have a gossiping office and they are just trying to steer clear of the drama. In no one jobs description does it says you have to friends with people at work. Sounds like they're not bothering anybody and they are getting the job done.

I totally fit this bill. I despise most of my coworkers. I feel no need to talk to, nor engage with them in any way inside or outside of work. I show up to one company meal a year (Christmas) because the catering is actually really good. I get my food and dissappear back to my area. I'm that guy that only 2 people talk to, but I'm also that guy that hasn't missed work in 20 years, doesn't make mistakes, and shoots with straight, accurate answers when problems arise.
