I work as a developer on a fully remote team. I agree with what you wrote, but a nice thing about being remote is you can conduct these “non-business” conversations on your own terms. When you’re at an office all day you probably only interact with your coworkers. When you work remote, you meet people outside your specific industry at cafes/coworking spaces.
- bluGill 8y agoThat is useful for you, but it isn't useful for your company. When it is co-workers you talk to the talk [sometimes] turns to solving work problems. Remote work isn't all bad, but there are serious downsides that cannot be ignored. Companies that choose to do/allow remote work need to figure out how to deal with them. Of course working in the same office has its own set of downsides to deal with.
