Has anyone noticed that you’re more depressed working fully remote? Having a quiet and non collaborative team is really making me think if I would prefer a hybrid position.

I set up one on one's (some really informal) with different people and we talk. What are you up to, watching on Netflix, how is this affecting you. Etc etc. Everyone that I talk to I tell them this isn't anything formal, of we were in the office we would gradually walk over to each other's desk and talk. No reason why we can just talk now.

That's what I encourage others to do. And to go out more. Actually outside whether it's just by yourself or with friends and family... you need separation from your desk.

I was the first year I was remote. Just felt awkward and anxious. As time passes I became more relaxed. The best thing I did to alleviate that anxiety was to develop hobbies and do stuff other than work on your lunch/breaks etc. For me, it's chores and outside work 😆

I set up "Water cooler chats" with co-workers to just hang out and talk about whatever we want in Zoom. Sometimes I'll reach out to people I don't know well and invite them to join or post that I have time for a 1:1 with anyone who's in a different department just to meet each other and talk about our roles and duties to get a better understanding of different departments. It fills up my time and keeps me social even though I'm working fully remote.

I’m way happier remote. It’s weird but going into the office even the thought pisses me off

100%. I really miss having a team that talked outside of the mandatory work meetings. 😢

Make plans to hang out with friends outside of work honestly. My current team isn’t as interested in hangouts so I’ve filled that gap with friends
