You will be targeted if you are too quiet and don't participate, even if you get the work done.
Management wants to funnel everyone into a specific role, even if you tell them it's not a good fit they get pushy.
Being an introvert here and not talking to your co-workers is frowned upon, you will be seen as a 'slacker' or someone that's 'aloof' and 'doesn't want to be there.
Other individuals who work less, but 'stand out' managed to keep their jobs with the layoffs just because they are vocal.
I was affected by the recent layoffs and it has to be because I am on the quieter side since i was hitting my metrics.
Management 'suggestions' are requirements, if you don't fulfill them you will be spoken to. Just make it clear from the get-go that it is REQUIRED.
For instance, timesheets are submitted every Friday, and my manager has admitted to me they don't fill there's in until Friday, but since I'm not a manager this exception doesn't apply to me, and I was written up for doing the same thing. it was touted as a suggestion to fill in your timesheet every day, not as a requirement.
