> I don't see how people don't depend on work for some level of social interaction. How can one want to spend 1/3 of their life not giving a fuck about the people they work with? This seems to be setting up a false dichotomy. On the one hand, you have someone saying people "don't depend entirely on work for their social life". On the other hand, you are saying, "how can you manage if you care nothing for your coworkers". There's quite a lot of room between those. I think there's also a big difference between expecting people to get all or most of their social interaction from work, and making sure that any remote members of the team have a good digital social environment with their coworkers—a strong presence on some kind of real-time text chat system (Discord, Slack, IRC, etc), regular not-entirely-serious email exchanges, whatever works for your groups. The problem comes when you've got an organization that's been 100% in-person for its entire existence and neither knows nor cares how to actually support people when things go remote.
