I WFH, every year one of the goals that the rest of the team decides is that it’s “so great” to see each other in person. The past few years haven’t worked out but one did. I spent hours in a couple of airports, the huge expense for the company, I spent days away from my family, and for what? So you could look me in my same face you would see if we turned cameras on every once in a while? My husband says I’m being weird, but I legitimately want to know, what is the benefit? I hate being there and have to play nice so you can…look me even closer in the face?
Not far off, it’s a worker co-op 😆
It’s not as cool as you might think it is. You’re still operating in capitalism
Yeah we all are mate, neither of us have much choice in that 😆 Doesn’t mean it doesn’t attract wonderful people.
Not important
We’re talking about why people like working with people face-to-face, so how is that not important? 😆 It’s pretty much the only factor that matters to me in terms of wanting to work in the physical office or not.
