I know the Lemmy/Reddit hive mentality is all "Let me work at home, there's zero benefit to being in the office", but there's another side. We've never had a workforce so disengaged, isolated and feeling no sense of community.

    Ok - but I don’t go to work for a sense of community? I go to work to earn money to survive. My tasks get done, profits are up overall so why do I need to feel engaged and how does being isolated have any negative effect on that?

    All I can say is that I manage a team of people and frequently get the following two messages: "I don't want to come to the office. I feel very isolated working by myself at home - oh my mental health." What are we supposed to do with this?

    So your team of people work in the office? And they rather work at home? What's exactly your point?

    I’m the opposite. I manage a BAU team and our team are active on slack, and seem to be thriving. We have two webex meetings a week, keep in constant touch and we all love it.

    Online communities are more than good enough at the best of times so I don’t see how they can’t work in the professional space.

    There is LinkedIn if you want a Facebook-like experience. There are 1-on-1 networking sites too, for mentors. Obviously bars or sports after work. Book clubs, parent groups, etc.

    If you want company and are looking to your job, that's like trying to make money off of your friends. Kinda stupid.
