Have you ever worked somewhere where your social life mattered more than your actual professional output? I was passed over for a lead role because the hiring manager said I wasn't a culture fit, even though I have the most seniority and the best metrics. In this office, culture fit seems to be code for doesn't go out drinking with the bosses until 2:00 AM on Tuesdays. It’s frustrating because I’m great at my job, I just have a life and a family outside of it.

This seems to be a lot of workplaces these days. It doesn't matter what you know or how much you can do as long as you can engage in small talk with all the right people. I'm a very shy and introverted person and I think it's harming my career, even though I'm good at what I do.

Great insights

Who goes out drinking until 2 am on Tuesdays? That's weirdly random. In fairness, there are roles where culture fit may matter, if you're meeting with clients and have to represent the company, for instance. Being passed over for a promotion because you're not into mid-week late night drinking bouts is something else entirely.

No I haven’t
