I swear I’ve heard this so many times since starting my office job. And let me tell ya! The culture is bullshit. Half the time either nobody is in office because they’re all remote, or everybody is here and they’re so drowned with work nobody talks to anybody.
I’ve gone days in the office where I’ve spoken to nobody or seen a breathing human.
Where is this so called culture that is so vastly important that I need to drive an hour each way everyday to answer some emails and fill out some documents.
My company is so hardcore against working remote more than 1 day a week and it’s mind blowing. Even adults in my life are so hard pressed on working in the office because “that’s how you network!” Great I’ll network with the soap dispenser in the bathroom. Give me a break.
