How important is fitting into workplace culture to you, and how important is it that you make some effort to do so wherever it is that you work in order to retain your job? I consider myself very lucky on this one as I work for a progressive LA-Based employer whose values overall align with mine. I'm also fortunate to be in a production based environment that is fast paced, where there is little time for chit chat and little time (overall) for politics (though to be honest since I work with other humans, politics does exist where I work - just not to an obnoxious level).
