People I don’t have to talk to on a regular basis at work feel really distant now. Lunch used to be a great time to randomly hit up coworkers to talk and share ideas. That network has completely dissolved now.
- sharken 6y agoYou’re not the only one, coworkers that i only see online feels as distant as most Facebook contacts. Ultimately this leads to less enjoyable work experience and thus more likely that workers switch jobs earlier than before.
- LordFast 6y agoI have witnessed that the opposite also holds true: less enjoyable coworkers are now less irritating simply because of the added distance and buffer room, making them easier to tolerate* than when having to deal with in person on a daily basis. *quality of work notwithstanding
