‘Jobs these days [hate] on introverts even when they actually do their job well’ : Mechanic with outstanding workmanship gets poor review due to being an introvert, which causes his raise to be cut

Life is already hard being an introvert. Humans are pack animals, but when you're an introvert you just want to be left alone. You have your few core people that respect your boundaries and those are the only people you want to hang out with. Why do you have to go and be socials with a bunch of strangers all the time? Or for that matter, why do you even have to go and hang with your coworkers? Shouldn't there be a divide between work and play anyways?

This is the argument one introvert employee has for his management right now. He recently had a work review that would have been outstanding if it weren't for the comments saying he wasn't social enough. This man is a nightshift bus mechanic and doesn't really need to speak with anybody to do his job well—and he does his job expertly well. So what's the deal? Is he really getting a poor review just because he doesn't want to socialize while at work? He also mentions that the work "social" environment is toxic and all the do is talk badly about whoever isn't on that shift that day. He doesn't want any part of that, why should he get punished? His review determines the percentage of a raise he gets, so now he is getting punished financially just because he is an introvert.
