I worked remote for a few years before the pandemic and the sense of isolation was definitely pervasive. But that’s not because of remote work or remote relationships alone having some inherent isolating quality. Several of my closest friends are people that I only interacted with online for several years before we ever met in person. No isolation there. Many Businesses just aren’t really trying to make that kind of thing work long term. All effort at this point appears to be geared towards the eventual ‘return to normal’ which will probably go away once far more invasive monitoring tools are the new norm!
