Humans desire to be a part of a community. For the last several decades, that community (in the US) has been in large part the workplace.
Is anything replacing the workplace as the form of community for people or is that something that is just being lost?

- driverdan 9y agoLet's hope not.
- driverdan 9y agoCoworking offices are great. Go whenever you want, interact with people who are not your coworkers, attend industry events.
- marcosdumay 9y agoThe workplace stopped hosting healthy communities decades ago. Forcing people into being there all day is just making sure no other community appears to fill this need.
- steve-howard 9y agoI'm sure you're well aware that this depends on the workplace.
- marcosdumay 9y agoNot really. At least, not to any sizeable amount. It depends more on the country, but if a decade on the same job is a long time on your region, then no workplace will have a healthy community.
- justrudd 9y agoI don't work remotely, but I supplement my work community with community from gym, rock climbing, borrowing a friend's ATV, occasional tech meet up, etc.
- joeax 9y agoI work remote. You are still part of a community. I travel to the main office on occasion and visit with co-workers, go out to dinner, and catch up. If you are looking for social interaction while remote you can also find like-minded individuals at tech meetups, coworking spaces, even your local Starbucks.
