I've been forced out of my last two workplace due to being socially inept. I'm pushing 40 and have never had a relationship with a girl or made a friend or been invited to a party.
What society wants and signals to you constantly is for you to kill yourself because you're not worth anything.
It sucks to say the least.

It's not physically incapacitating until you kill yourself which is the signal society sends you constantly.
It's pretty incapacitating.

Most make you sign a disclosure when you apply to the job if you have a disability or not.

Just curious.
Is it pretty common for this to happen?
I just got completely marginalized at my last workplace after they realized how socially inept I was and basically forced out the door. It also happened my job before that. Both were startups though.
Wondering if that's pretty common or if I just had bad workplaces?

Just curious how you manage politics in the workplace and how you progressed so far in the workplace.
I'm really struggling with politics at work right now so I know how you feel. I feel a lot of those same emotions.
