I've been remote for 3.5 years now, and that's the first thing I tell new team members:
You currently have a community at your office that you don't realize. You will need to be intentional about building that community in other ways now.
I get lunch with friends more. Visit my Grandma out of state. Played a ton of Magic the Gathering.
It waxes and wanes, but it's my job to build and not just accept the "corp culture" as community.
- inkeddeveloper 7y agoI'm curious how remote work correlates to playing MtG?
- xur17 7y agoIt's a multiplayer game, so it provides social interaction.
- lbotos 7y agoMy favorite joke about MtG: "The magic is the gathering" a draft is such a good env to just hang out, and we'd usually end up with a ringer or two, so it was a good way to socialize. I've waned a bit because I didn't like the state of the meta, but have been itching to get back in for the social aspects alone. Traded MtG for CS:GO mostly these days, but wanting to get more face to face time, even though I've been surprised about how much a consistent CS:GO group has felt like community.
