I would say this, and I can’t find a time period after which it becomes OK. And that’s fine. Seems you have some covert contracts. I’ve been the black sheep at several SF jobs, not in on the FB and Slack OFftopic channel fun. Invited, but not partaking, and eventually being ousted by same people if I don’t leave first. The importance of a right fit and fail fast mentality. But it’s a 2 way street. Observe the specimen for a statistically meaningful time period, or chill and trust the hiring process.

Oh crap I didn't realize people would actually respond to me. I just kinda sat at my cubicle and did nothing. Everything was blocked on the internet so I couldn't really do much. Went home and cried.

That's what life in a Big Corp is quite often like, actually.
