And they are right, look:

and
> half of the workers are wfh
you have seen way more people than if you had stayed at home. Especially while driving, at the red traffic lights, or while overtaking cars/or while they overtake you :)

it doesn't matter, distances should not matter, you could befriend someone that is 50 km away, why not - it doesn't matter that you're doing to meet him/her only once a year.
Overall, it does help socialize. :)
- junon 3y agoMy employer is not my mother or father. They have no business prescribing me extra-curricular socialization, nor are they afforded any privilege to dictate anything else about my personal life.
- scld 3y agoThey're not prescribing extra-curricular socialization for your personal life, though. They're prescribing on-the-clock socialization for your professional life.
- junon 3y ago> Especially while driving, at the red traffic lights, or while overtaking cars/or while they overtake you :) If this wasn't a joke, then my comment was addressing that.
- cbg0 3y ago> on-the-clock socialization for your professional life Can't wait to see this line in a company e-mail about forcing people into the office.
- Izkata 3y agoI mean, it's pretty commonly called "networking"...
- mk89 3y agoUnfortunately it was meant as a sarcastic comment. And of course I totally agree with you.
- DoctorMckay101 3y agoActually chuckled. Good comment.
- the_only_law 3y agoYet I can socialize just fine without even having a job.
