>I don't get this. If you have a coworker that enjoy having lunch with you... what's stopping you both doing so? I mean, even if you both work from home, you could still schedule a lunch together in the city, right?
I don't like the office and work 100% remote but I remember collaboration scenarios that were easier and more natural in the office. Example...
- coworker and I discuss something at the cubicle or meeting room. Maybe use the whiteboard. It's now about noon so we agree to grab lunch at the cafeteria.
- continue discussion while walking toward the cafeteria
- continue at lunch table and/or walk back to desks
No coordination or invites on Zoom. Continued discussion in-real-life just flows while we're multitasking (i.e. getting some food) -- because we're both physically present.
So two remote workers getting in the car to meet for lunch isn't the same.
But at the moment, I'm not working on anything that requires that intense level of in-person collaboration described above -- so I'd rather remain working 100% at home.
