> what kind of dystopian workplace do you go to where people are looking to use things against you?

Any corporate environment. You'll get stabbed in the back sooner or later.

> where colleagues have got each others back.

That doesn't sound healthy if people have to get each others back - usually means there are some bad actors that you'll need to cover up for. Do the job, be polite and leave ego at home. There is no need for politics, gossip and other meaningless activities.

> work for the collaborative pro-social people.

That sounds dystopian to me. I prefer to have social life outside of work, with actual friends that I choose, not HR.

This. Companies doing social thing is nothing but trying to fool employees into feeling like they owe to company.
