> Not all people want a deeply personal relationship with their co-workers I don't either per se, depends on the person more than it depends on the fact that they are my co-worker. What I think is useful is to connect, a bit, on things that aren't related to work, so that you get to know each other a bit better. 'Deeper' in this sense would be getting to know each other beyond just work things. > forcing it into remote work Bit of a straw man. I never said anything about forcing. > Unfortunately once those bonds are formed between some members of a team, often the team dynamic is shifted weirdly It seems like you are saying we have to avoid bonding with co-workers because the anti-social members of a team might be left out because people would rather work together with people they have a connection with than people they don't. If so, I'd strongly disagree with that and I don't think it is weird. We spend so much of our time on this planet working, I'd rather spend it with people I have a good relationship with than people I don't have a connection with.
