Maybe anti social, but looking for a job

„Come to us, we have fruits in the kitchen and our Team is awesome. We have fun. And do parties.“ - Job Ad for random software developer jobs.

Im not quite sure how I feel about the current mindset. I don’t eat fruits and I’m not quite sure what fun is anymore. I’m one of this people which are working about 70hours a week and love working. At work time I need people to work with. Not to play with. I’m also not confident how this social experiment is working out. Are people really better at work when we are do parties we can’t decline because of the pressure from the group? Even without. I’m pretty sure working together would be better for a good teamwork. But now they all want to be friends.

Im Self employed and I was employed.

Am I just anti Social?

There are plenty of companies that would happily work you 70+ hours a week, ever thought about applying at amazon web services? I'm sure there are plenty of companies that HN readers could suggest that would be more than willing to take all the hours you give them. Many positions are remote where you don't have to hang out with anyone.
