More of this propaganda? Remote work exposes issues that were previously covered up by being in person.

Society has become increasingly alienating and lonely, going into an office is just a way of papering over that.

Companies haven’t built strong cultures around communicating and mentorship, going into an office is just a way of masking that.

Personally I have worked with and felt camaraderie on distributed teams with people I’ve never met in person. I know it’s possible, but it requires doing things differently than business as usual.

Society's complete lack of concern for psychological safety or building community is the real problem (at least in the US). Political offices and processes need reform before the world can be fixed. Then you might see people happily going into offices.

Going to an office likely helps this actually, when remote we only interact with people explicitly which is much more of an echo chamber than sitting at lunch and casually joining a conversation about politics you never would have had online
