My company always had offices spread around the country that worked close with one another, so going full remote was a change, but honestly not a huge change.
We have regular coffee/tea breaks every afternoon, no work talk allowed. A variety of online social events helps round things out.
Is it the same as working in an office together? Of course not. But while I have worked on some great teams that gelled really well, IMHO the majority of work teams don't have deep bonds.
What WfH really did kill was the ability to create informal connections between teams, the types of connections that help Get Things Done faster than usual. I feel that is the one true, huge, drawback of WfH.
