That's a pretty mentally taxing adjustment for most people to make.

It's also incredibly awkward when engaging in small talk with new people. Being evasive about answering where you work will lead to many presumptions (e.g. that you work for a 3 letter agency), few of which are very conducive to continuing a conversation.

Similarly I could just lie about where I work, but I think you can probably see how that's similarly taxing to do continuously.
