I'm young. Remote work is a lot more convenient for me, but it is essentially impossible to build meaningful relationships when all your coworkers are nothing more than a Slack pfp.
And being unable to build meaningful relationships makes it harder to grow a career.

- gravypod 5y ago> is essentially impossible to build meaningful relationships when all your coworkers are nothing more than a Slack pfp I grew up on irc, ventrilo, teamspeak, and now discord. Some of my best friends are just usernames (not even profile pics)! It is possible to build long standing relationships with people just through text and voice chat, let alone video. > And being unable to build meaningful relationships makes it harder to grow a career. Harder or unfamiliar? No generation has had remote as an available option as ours has. In the same way we say "X is harder than Y" in technology when really we mean "I have used X but not Y" it might just be something we need to attempt.
