Yeah, when I went from jobs that paid weekly to one that paid monthly I was not prepared for the number of people who would smile to my face and then stab me in the back.

Also, leaving a job went from hugs, well wishes, and a box of chocolates over to being escorted out by security because they assumed anyone leaving would want to steal stuff, which was surreal.

When I then moved to working at secured locations the friendliness came back, which was a bit weird to start with but I think it’s necessary to cope with the loss if control everyone feels at a subconscious level.
