I would tend to agree RTO is primarily about middle managers and control
Though, I think the following could suffer from post-hoc rationalization fallacy:
> We noted that this kind of friendship definitely would not have happened if we were working remote.
- steveBK123 2y agoYes, I am great work friends with some of my former colleagues from foreign offices that I rarely saw in person. Similarly have good friends on my current fully remote team. I also have good friends from the fully in office era. Turns out it's more on you as a person to figure out friendship than arbitrary spatial collocation.
- vlovich123 2y agoIs it? The social ties that get built are stronger with in person interactions for me too. It’s not totally a wild hypothesis.
- robocat 2y agoDepending on your home, it is often easy to create strong social ties with your neighbours or within your neighbourhood. Especially if you have kids. Then the anecdote would be different. Definitely post-hoc since there's also plenty of workplaces you never end up with friends from. I am reasonably outgoing and have kept only a handful of friends from various past jobs. Mostly one group is still mostly friends (but we co-founded together so perhaps an unusual group).

- seadan83 2y ago> It’s not totally a wild hypothesis. No, it's not, I agree. Though, plausible and intuitive do not equate to true and supported by evidence. It is the difference of human knowledge pre-1700s vs post, when science came along and basically said, "yeah, you think that, but how do you know that?" Post-hoc rationalization is quite powerful stuff. That something wound up happening, does not make it a generally true thing. Other factors can be at play.
