I think the problem is, since working fully remote means spending about twice as much time in formally scheduled meetings, and those meetings are significantly more draining on Zoom than in person, both I and the people I might socialize with feel a lot more drained at the end of the work day and less interested in doing anything non-vegetative. Previously we would go for dinner or drinks after work pretty often.

Our internal numbers are similar. > “People have 250 percent more meetings every day than they did before the pandemic,” says Mary Czerwinski, the research manager of the Human Understanding and Empathy group at Microsoft. https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/04/triple-peak-day-work-from-home/629457/ https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/04/trip...
