It’s most jobs but in my experience it just that people are busy AF and overworked and don’t have time to really think about you if you aren’t either in their direct line of site or a well established friend. My social circle has shrunk to people I work with currently and a couple of neighbors. I’m extremely proximity biased (aka lazy I guess).

Can confirm that is most jobs

That’s pretty much every job I’ve ever had except for the initial lie about being family part

Amazon isn’t like that. Once an Amazonian, always an Amazonian. Merch from another amazon site is a status symbol if you still work for them lol
