Once the company I worked for went remote shortly after the pandemic started I decided to switch jobs once the lockdowns were over and that's exactly what I did to a place that values in person attendance. Work is where people from different classes, backgrounds and walks of life come together to work on common projects. Socialization at work cannot be replaced by family activities or hobbies which are always parochial. People talk a lot about cultural issues and bubbles these days and in my opinion the withering away of a workplace social life has been one of the biggest drivers. Remote work accelerates that dynamic of pushing people into private, increasingly narrow groups.
