You do realize that people who WFH have friends and communities outside of work, right?
- mperham 3y agoQuite often, the bosses don’t. Their social circle is the company and that’s partly why they so desperately want back in the office.
- kolbe 3y agoYou do realize companies function better when employees are friends, right? I'm not saying forced daily association is the way to make them friends, but you can see the logic behind trying to encourage it.
- endemic 3y agoI’ve gone out of my way to engage socially with co-workers, and I’m not sure any of those relationships ever progressed to the “friend” stage.
- kolbe 3y ago80% of my friends are ex-coworkers. Some i even made from WFH. So, I think making friends at work is important, but I'm not sure how much being in-person is necessary. Granted, I've seen how our developers rarely make friends with each other, so it may be more of a sales/HR/product thing than engineering.
- sangnoir 3y ago> You do realize companies function better when employees are friends, right? Professionalism and trust result in more productivity - not necessarily friendship
- intended 3y agoFor the firm. What does that do for employee salary? It’s a firms way to gain productivity. Especially after preventing you from socializing near your home. Wow, uh, maybe we should be against team building in principle.
