We had one guy, who completely isolated himself from the world for 6 months during Covid. Total 0 interaction - he even ordered groceries online and he would wait a few days before unpacking them.
Before Covid he was great. During the isolation he developed mental health issues. We tried to help, offered paid sick leave for a while, but eventually we couldn't help. He is unemployed for last few months. I meet with him sometimes, but he is still unfit to work. I can't think of something I could do now.
- whatshisface 5y agoI'm curious which was the cause and which was the effect.
- ldiracdelta 5y agoI'm not. Solitary Confinement in prisons is so horrific to most prisoners, that they'd rather be in a den of predators with the possibility of getting raped than be in Solitary Confinement.
- sgift 5y agoSolitary confinement is forced isolation. Not even remotely comparable to someone deciding for themselves to isolate.
- twox2 5y agoThat's rough, and I'm sorry to hear that about your colleague. No one is beyond developing mental health issues in trying times... but do you think it would have saved him if he had to come into the office once a week? I have my doubts. Personally, I don't think having to do that would improve anything for me either. I love being full remote and after having gotten used to it even mandatory mondays seems like they would be an unnecessary burden... but all teams are created different.
