Arts or no arts companies hire you to do X, not to make friends.

If you stop doing X you will be fired/not-hired, simple as.

You can make friends on your free time.

Most well-adjusted people work to live, they don't live to work. Life comes first, the demands of the job come a distant second.

Great!

All the more reason, then, for them to be okay with not being hired.

Oh my gosh I’ve worked with so many of you!

Go tell HR that you don't give a shit about your coworkers ;)

Why would this bother HR? They don't give a shit about the coworkers either.

Spend some time learning about the concept of the excluded middle[1]. It is something that will be useful on your life going forward, it might even save you a lot of trouble.

I am writing a post about that for my blog but it's still not there so ... check back later? Lol.

Anyway, in this particular scenario, a co-worker not being my friend does not mean we are enemies.
