    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?

          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.
