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?

    We’re social animals, socialization benefits us. WFH is better overall, but meeting up now and again has clear benefits.

    Just commented here, and the anti-social folks seem to disagree, even though I’m mainly agreeing with them. Go figure.
