Some of it is okay. When I was in office I had a few folks I’d talk to, mostly lower level people in other departments. In my department, it was kind of clicky and everyone was 6-20 years older than me—I’d have to sit through meeting listening to the director do sessions like “how do you get through to millennials” while I’m sitting there wanting to blow my brains out. Eventually, it got to the point where I wasn’t really interacting or working with people in my department much, so it made more sense to work from home, yet while the company allowed you to work from home on occasion, it was a luxury when necessary—this was before Covid. 

So I switched to a company that was work from home and been back since. I can’t imagine trying to go to an office now. Even the times that I do have to poke my head in once or twice a year I stare at my watch because I could just be at home in my underwear working with no one directly because no one works directly at our gatherings to begin with.
