Adults are supposed to have friends outside of their homes who they do not work with and are not related to. The problem isn't with WFH, it's with society.

  The problem with this logic is that our working conditions are a part of society, and in the modern age are a major source of our well being or lack thereof. So if everyone's suddenly trapped in their basement that's just yet another problem with modern society that we now have to deal with. What I find more disturbing is that in my company's case the result of the pandemic seemed to be random and based on nothing but financial logic. My department supported a hybrid situation almost entirely but the powers that be didn't care, they did the easiest thing. Before the pandemic we couldn't get one day a week remote because it was a 'security risk'.

    They aren't trapped though. They can and should leave the basement. They just won't.

      That is if you consider things like joining a running club a normal and natural way to find long term companionship. That's not really how our brains work.
