I’ve been with the same company over the past 12 years. My group started real small and we had a great rapport. This was 95% in office (sometimes we were at customers or something for days/weeks here and there). We would go out for drinks at least once a week. We had debates and discussions, pranks and other nonsense. It was generally a fun time. Then there was some attrition and I moved to another group and back again years later. The group was a little bigger, but it never came back to the way it was. Flash forward another few years to Covid. Everyone goes full remote. Eventually my company adopts a 2 day policy (everyone’s in 2 days a week). At this point my department is expanding rapidly. People aren’t always in the same days and some people rarely come in at all (policies are loosely enforced). We also added some roles that were largely out of office (staff aug), so you would never see those people. It got to the point where I would look at my company and think to myself “who are all these people?” I started asking people out for drinks after works and, since I moved up, asked my director if I could organize some company sponsored outings. Eventually I settled back in. Doing things with your coworkers outside of work helps to make it feel more whole. Companies, just like relationships, are not unchanging and you can experience the same sort of feelings even when you don’t move to another company. Give it time. Try to socialize not over work, but doing something else.
