There are cliques in every office just like in any other social situation. You dont want to be the outcast, and at the same time you dont want to be the one that garners the most attention to yourself either. I try to ride the fine line between being social and being inconspicuous, especially to the management. As far as management is concerned, the less they see you and know you the better. At least thats what my feelings on it are. But obviously this all hinges on what the manager is like too. But right now all my manager knows about me is that I get shit done, anything that is asked for, usually the most demanding shit. And usually this is expressed by him in my annual reviews. So its working. Even though I spend most of my days right now surfing the web. But when shit hits the fan I go above and beyond to get the job done. Even if it takes me working from home or some OT (Im salary so I dont get OT)
But his is also dependent on your skills too. Im very good at what I do as I have been doing it for the better part of 23 yrs now. There are many that are not as good, so they have to be cleaver to cover up their inadequacies by the use of social skills and other means.
