>I've heard this a lot. It seems a point of contention. 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? How can someone want to sit at a computer banging out useless shit for faceless corporations and not have the conciliation of suffering through it with people you know and like?
I have enough social connections with family, my girlfriend and friends made in university, other activities, school, etc. I don't need to make friends at work tbh, I understand if others do, and that is one motivation to return to the office but please for the love of god, don't make me waste 3hs of my daily life because you need that.
- pnutjam 4y agoYES! I am friendly at work, but outside professional references, I don't really speak to co-workers from past jobs. There are afew I keep in touch with, but I have enough on my plate and honestly many of them are not the kind of people I enjoy being around.
- mrmuagi 4y agoA good argument for WFH has always been commute -- and rightfully so, because 3 hours with your family/girlfriend is worth a lot more than an hour in traffic -- it makes sense. It seems people need to bridge/gap that loneliness by having/creating their social structure outside of work. I think it's more painful because it requires you to deal with social anxiety, social planning, rejection, etc. but it's much more rewarding.
