I'm inclined to agree with you...but the point I'm trying to entertain here is that when a lot of the people that work remotely - freelancers, work from home folks, etc- communicate with anyone online it's mostly on a transactional basis. It's either their boss or someone who demands some form of a deliverable. And that is mentally straining. I personally know of many people that have decided to quit working online altogether because they couldn't cope with the depression.
So, most of the interactions they have aren't really that friendly, and it's hard to build deep relationships when doing that like you would if you are working in a geostationary workspace.
What I'm trying to do here is emulate the normal co-worker relationship that occurs in "normal jobs" and try to bring it to people who are working online, people that are mostly by themselves and want to connect with people (that are like them) they can relate to...to have communion with.
- jstewartmobile 7y ago"normal co-worker relationship" is one of fellow sufferers rather than friendship. traditional modes of socializing--politics, religion, civic organizations, etc--will hit closer to the mark.
- Mohamed-Hamo99 7y agoI'd argue that a mix of both similarity of tasks (for relatability) and any given one of the modes you've just said would be a great idea for testing.
