For me, over the years having no connection with anyone at work has actually been detrimental and led me to seek an in office job.
It wasn't the only factor but it was definitely one of them. Humans are social creatures at the end of the day.
I don't need work to be social. Sounds like a skill issue to me.
You don't necessarily need it, but if you have a full time job that's roughly a third of your time. Having a third of your time without social interaction causes you to need an extremely robust social life outside of work to make up for it, throwing things off balance.
I don't think it has much to do with skill, I just wanted more balance in my life
Hey friend, I get you. People don't need to agree with you, but I think it's wild the number of downvotes you receive for simply stating your own personal desires.
I work at a job where I'm not expected to be in the office. But we still go, based on personal preferences. There are some people who never go, and that's totally accepted. And others, who prefer the separation of work and home, and being around people, and that's okay too.
To me, our current arrangements of hybrid work, as you feel, is fantastic. (Working way more than we need to, just to feed the owner classes notwithstanding)
clown shit lol get a damn social hobby outside of work
I'll just kms instead, it's easier
