I struggle to meet people in general, and it's not because I'm spending a lot of time commuting. I appreciate being able to go to an office and socializing with coworkers.
- yrgulation 4y agoIn our remote team we have occasional virtual beer sessions, and better yet, we plan for bbqs every now and then. Also we sometimes play starcraft or just call each other. But we do this voluntarily as opposed to being forced by our peers. I absolutely dont mind making friends at work but voluntarily.
- kurtreed 4y agoClearly people who want to go to an office should join companies/teams that go to an office and people who don't should join companies/teams that don't.
- yrgulation 4y agoOr there could be, ya know, a mix. Again, you are trying to impose either or, whereas those of us who work from home want to be accommodating. Perhaps because we, despite working just as hard, are a bit more laxed in how we view the world around us.

- s1artibartfast 4y agoSome people want to enjoy their time at work as well. There is life outside of work, but that doesn't mean work needs to be lifeless.
- yrgulation 4y agoBut why at our expense, both financially and mentally? The desire to work onsite, if you think about it, demands that others are in the office with you - since what you need is other people to make it enjoyable for you. As i said, i dint mind people wanting or working on site. But that demand seems to either directly or indirectly mandate that others work onsite as well. So why should earn less and live in worse conditions just so that you can chat with me in an office?
- s1artibartfast 4y agoIm not demanding anything of others. I will seek out companies that fit my needs and you are free to do the same.
- lm28469 4y agoYes but that's none of my business, I'm not here to be your social circle at work, I have other things to do
- s1artibartfast 4y agoThats fine, You don't have to apply to my workplace. I will value positions that fit my needs, and you are free to do the same. When hiring, I will select employees that meet the onsite requirements and fit the culture.

- yrgulation 4y agoWell you dont own the place so you might have to hire remote if your employer wishes to attract talented and productive people.
