Cultural surprises in the workplace for new residents

New residents to the USA, whether here for a H1B visa or some other special status, frequently are surprised about our way of life here. It is not what they had anticipated.
One woman commented on our large, clean supermarkets with so many choices. A man was surprised about the fact that others in his workplace are not taking time to do social activities with him outside of work.

If you are a new resident to the USA, where are you from and what 1 thing surprised you most about our culture? It could be in the workplace or the community. Please share your ideas!
