> you can connect by being legitimately curious about differing interests as long as it's a culture that is open to different interests without using them as a defining characteristic.

100% agree with that. Differences shouldn't make you exclude other people. Like the example where people just ignore the cleaning staff. It just tells alot how the people there are privileged. I worked at an engineering firm and people generally do acknowledge the cleaning staff. They're people too regardless of their position or work.



Sure, but expecting others to go out of that way to do that for you just doesn’t work in my experience. This seems pretty mellow frankly.

If anything, complaining about it just seems to make it worse?
