It's all kind of heresay isn't it? The only thing we know for sure is that Jordan should've never taken the job. On Twitter (@SuperCoolJordan) he admitted that the commute, pay, and hours were not to his liking BEFORE he took the job. His leaving the way he did only shows that Jordan doesn't belong in a corporate environment. We know nothing about his employers.
I agree with you. Being sociable for its sake can be its own stressor. Better to hang with people where you can be authentic, be yourself. How one finds balance and happiness in their work-life make up will be different for each person. There is no one-size-fits all lifestyle :-)
