If working from home is too antisocial for you, that's a skill issue. #wfh

A typical day working from home can be a lonely affair: 84 per cent of employees spend the entire day without any human contact. And this loss of social interaction isn’t made up for after work: on the contrary, evening get-togethers with friends have actually declined. People who have already spent the day at home seem less likely to make the effort to go out again. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.aec7671

The Secret Reason Bosses Want Everyone Back in the Office, Every Day of the Week
"When people aren’t in the office, it’s harder to command and control. Leaders can’t intimidate by hovering over cubicle desks and slamming doors. They can’t establish their dominance by summoning people to a conference room and pounding their fists on the table. They can’t even make direct eye contact to stare people down."
The horror...

It’s all about them.

I never cease to be mystified by this common work-from-home complaint.
I’ve been 100% wfh aside from a half-dozen short trips to NJ for “all-hands” meetings since 2008. Last one of those was 2016.
I consider solitude when working one of the great positive features of wfh. Having people forcibly interrupt me by their physical presence gained me a ‘prickly’ reputation in my last office.

There's work stuff I'd really like to be able to chat with people about for advice and moral support. When working in an office there are ample opportunities to do that. But remote jobs make this much harder, and that's frustrating. I have regular scheduled 1:1s with people. I can DM in Slack. When I really need to speak with someone I can schedule a Teams meeting. But none of this is the same as just being able to walk around the office and shmooze. I miss that. #workLife #remoteWork

While I _am_ WFH, noone seems to be in the office or online at all. "Where the heck is everyone?".... "oh _riiiight_." Dang.
Oh well. Might actully get some stuff done.
