I've recently switched to management and am having a tough time navigating engagement expectations. On a personal level I don't want to be friends with my reports and I don't really like setting up events like dinners, socials, etc. To me they feel like obligations I'm not being paid to meet.
On a leadership level I recognize that some people, especially new grads, DO value these events and do want to be friends with their teammates. I'm trying to walk a line now which seems like the solution for everything but I like that remote work has tempered expectations to go out together after work.
