Stop the fuck with "sense of community" and other crap.
I'm starting to understand that many people never felt the sense of community, in the workplace or otherwise. Yes it's possible.
The trick is that it doesn't depend on the company, it depends on the people. Last time it happened to me, we pretty much all quit together because we were frustrated at the company but kept being friends afterwards.
Not everyone hates life like you do. I hang out with co-workers all the time. Kept relationships will after I'm done.

🤷♂️ I can make friends at work just fine
Well if YOU can, that's all that matters.
What does this even mean 🤣?
You're mad at me because I'm an enjoyable person who gets along with co workers now? Are you saying I should feel sorry for people that can't make friends outside the Internet? I'm genuinely confused at what your point is here.

Read again. Slowly.
Maybe they used the wrong language. You roll your eyes, so you don't hate life, heard.
So then why, genuinely, do you reject the idea of community with such conviction?
after studying mostly from home for 3 years, I'm very happy to be working on-site. feels a lot less lonely.
romcom idea: childless man has crush on childed man. he's raring to come back to work to hang out with hot dad man, but the latter is forced to work remotely.
the whole plot swivels around how they get around the lack of opportunities to be together.
keep cooking
It's not about remote vs office work, but working remotely all the time reminds particularly painfully about not having a SO or many friends. When working from office, covertly texting a good acquaintance 2-3 times a day kinda replaces that. When at home, you could do much more of that, or probably bunch together to work, but you don't. Just sit there, smell your socks, sip tea, get distracted for nothing good, and feel how your life passes into abyss. When in office, you at least have the stress of many loud people around to distract you from that.

You hear yourself and you can spot the issue, right?
