That observation about work as transactional vs social is great, thank you. It has summed up a problem which I hadn't found an adequate definition for. It tallies with my experience that remote workers, integrated into a mostly office based environment does largely end up being transactional. Another problem is that there can be transactional workers in the office, and I would characterize those folks as usually the least likely to participate with remote workers too. So you can get a double hit. However, the best remote setups I've seen have been where someone who largely works remotely is heavily social usually using their occasional time in the office effectively.
