Got transitioned out at my company, for not “clicking” quickly enough with some types of ppl (generally got no problem with it). So why even hire introverts if you expect them to be extrovert anyways?

What, if anything, makes you think that an introvert vs extrovert conflict is the core problem here? If two people are both extroverted (or both introverted), that doesn't guarantee that they click with each other, and having a ton extroverts together doesn't mean there's culture fit. Any firm over 100 people likely has a range of introverts and extroverts that are successful, so there must be more to the story.

I had a client throw away my deliverables, got me fired from the client site, my company knew what happened and didn’t do anything. They offered me Siberia (New Jersey) to keep my job flying from west coast. Totally screwed I quit. Next client loves me. 3 clients ago I had a micro manager. Barely survived him watching my every move. That’s just how this job goes. Instead of dealing with one toxic environment we accelerate it and deal with many. This remote work makes it less toxic, but it’s still there. Sometimes our own team is the problem. My advice learn to let it go. Just figure 25% of your accounts will be shit and when they happen say oh this is part of the 25% and move on.
