Some of that sounds like a nightmare to me.

- open office - impossible to concentrate.

- constant pair programming - ughhh

- I have a family and friends outside of work. I’ve gone out of my way not to mix my work life and personal life. I have no desire to “play games” and “watch movies” with my coworkers. I come to work to work. I have friends who are former coworkers.

- regular lunches together - again, my lunch time is my time to get away from the office and recharge.




Seconded! You could be my work best friend and years after we've moved on we could still enjoy not talking to each other.


All of those things are perfectly fine as long as they are optional.
