So I someone that would prefer to be at the office. I like socializing and getting lunch with coworkers. I like casually asking question, running ideas by others, all things that, FOR ME, don't work remote.
Unfortunately, at least so far, people in my area aren't coming in so I've shown up at the office and in my space few others are showing up. Also, getting rooms for meetings is no fun
I don't know what I'm going to do but I will likely quit and find an in office team if things don't get better. Humans (most) are social animals https://www.google.com/search?q=humans+are+social+animals https://www.google.com/search?q=humans+are+social+animals
- acheron 5y agoI’m sorry you don’t have any real friends to get your socialization in, but forcing your coworkers to be your pretend friends is not the answer.
- oblio 5y agoThat's just a silly approach to life, sorry. You're stuck in an office with other people 8 hours per day, you might as well make friends. Over a working life of 40 years that's 40 x 45 x 5 x 8 = about 8 full years of your life. And no, those people don't have to be your direct teammates, especially in bigger companies. Just look for compatible people. Relationships are based on proximity, heck, even most marriages start like that: highscool classmates, college students studying the same thing, co-workers, neighbors, whatever.
