Do you *actually* miss seeing your coworkers in person or have you been seen them on zoom long enough to not really care? (PSA: This is not a post to start a wfh vs rtw war)

No I do not miss seeing them in person. Zoom is plenty.

Yes, it was fun to sit around at dinner and talk during busy season or stop by someone’s desk for a few minutes

I miss many of my colleagues. Yes, happy to see them on Teams /Zoom but you have different conversations IRL vs virtual. I miss that real life interaction.

like

Yes but I also proactively reach out to them, turn on my video (when I can), etc. I could be better about reaching out to friends outside my group with video on though I do keep up chats and check in on how they're doing :) I really like my team!
And though I miss them, I'd prob only pay the commute time to see them once a week or every two weeks 😅

Nope. Besides if I see the ones I’m friends with, I want it to be outside of a work setting.

My last firm? I actually missed them after a bit l, although not enough to see them full time WFH.

My current firm I recently started with I'm still getting to know them so I'm content with just being polite for now and not caring too much.

Not enough to make me want to give up wfh

Not at all

I miss the coworkers I’d see around the office and go to hh/lunch with who I didn’t necessarily work directly with so I don’t see them in meetings.

Me! ✋🏼 I can’t stand zoom/video calls lol and am so happy that in person happy hours are back

I don’t care about seeing my coworkers at all, but it’s because they first proved that they didn’t care about seeing me/the rest of us. My “supervisor” has reached out to me only about 2x since March 2020.
