Yes - because the coworkers I would see in person are not ones I ever encounter on Zoom.

Nope. And if for whatever reason I find myself missing any of them, I schedule a happy hour with them. WFH forever (lol jk, but not really).

Yes, I do miss my coworkers. I genuinely like a lot of them, and we’ve been getting together outside of work when we can.
