I've been working remote for a year and a half now at a company that has never had an office. First off, I will say that I really love remote work. Despite that, I do miss the social interactions that you get with your coworkers. When your social interaction is limited to time before meetings start, you lose a lot of what you had in an office. I personally have never worked a job where I didn't like at least a few of my coworkers, and I always felt like it made my days a bit more fun when I could stop by Chris's desk to chat before we grab a cup of coffee. Remote work attempts to emulate that, but a video call can have one real speaker at a time, where a physical room can have multiple side conversations that don't interrupt each other. We've done off sites and those are a blast since I finally get to talk to my coworkers in person, but those are obviously temporary. All that said, I love remote work. I love that I can move back to my home town with low cost of living and be paid the same as I do working in a higher COL area. I love having no commute, and I love slipping out to do async tasks like laundry. I feel like the social fix I'm looking for can be answered another way, but I don't know how.
