    No one said “sole.” It’s about a sense of community between you and your coworkers, which is a very real and normal thing. It’s spelled out in the article very clearly:

    losing that sense of workplace community had a greater impact on childless men

    “Workplace community.”

    I’m a dad working remote and I love the benefits but I ALSO miss the sense of community with my coworkers which I used to get from lunches together, sharing the train ride home, or just working side by side at our desks.

      hmm, so having or not having kids have impact on your sence of workplace community during remote work?

      Does it add up to you?

      No it fucking ain’t.

      Forcing people together doesn’t create community, it creates stress, and resentment, and burnout, and migraines.

      “Workplace community.”

      Biggest oxymoron I’ve ever seen since military intelligence.

      ALSO miss the sense of community with my coworkers which I used to get from lunches together, sharing the train ride home, or just working side by side at our desks

      Oh, you’re one of those fucking extroverts.

      I can’t begin to imagine the extent to which your poor coworkers must have despised you while you constantly bothered them while they tried to work, or have a quick decompressing lunch, or disconnect after a long day of work during the train ride home, the poor bastards. As if work wasn’t bad enough by itself.
