Aren't you lonely working from home?
I've absolutely hated the remote work era, quite literally for its remoteness.
Sure, I know & have enjoyed all the typical benefits of WFH life. Rolling outta bed 3 minutes before a meeting, living wherever you want, doing laundry during a conference call, no time lost on stopped-traffic commutes, significantly more focus time without people around, sneaking out before the end of the day for personal plans. The benefits list increases exponentially for parents.
But I miss crowding into a conference room to wildly brainstorm on a whiteboard, and debating over office-provided snacks which creative idea's best, and helping a junior learn the soft skills to get a promotion, and going to lunch with my co-workers, and sitting next to someone I admire & can learn from, and that sense of belonging that comes with finishing work as a team, and psychologically separating my work life from my home life.
We're, what, 6ish years into this new remote work era? But I'm pretty curious (and worried) about the long-term ramifications of it all. What do these industries look like after 20 years of work-from-home? How are 20somethings building their first adult social lives, or learning how to get promotions when they've never even met their bosses? How are people who change jobs building any camaraderie with their new teams? This sounds dramatic, but will people even know how to really be around each other?
I guess the big summary point's that if we're all gonna do something for 8-9 hours a day for a paycheck, I'd rather be shoulder-to-shoulder with someone than solo at home.
Also, you'll just never convince me that the best collaborate creative work comes from remote teams.
