There was one company I worked for that I actually loved going to work that after my inner “clique” left for other jobs, it was not enjoyable so I left.

Same here. I was lucky to work in places where the people were congenial. They were no substitute for family, but they enhanced my life. Once that dynamic was gone, the spirit was gone and I found it harder and harder to go to work. Eventually I left.

That's the problem with forced diversity. It can destroy an office culture. Nowadays employees seem to act under fear -- fear of political incorrectness, fear or being replaced by a machine or someone in China. Work ethic disappears when there is little incentive.

Yup. I’ve had those feedbacks from MAGA friends of mine. You have to click with everyone or you are ‘forced’ to. The primary objective of a job is to pay your rent first, and everything comes second. However, the group dynamic heavily comes into play.
