I love working from home, but I despise that company culture is basically just "zoom happy hours" they force us to go to so we can bond. We don't need to bond. Nothing will change for me as far as my job goes if I don't know anything personal about my coworkers.

Cannot agree more!

Those are sooo awkward. We use to try and have team “lunches” over Zoom, which for a dispersed team was really breakfast, lunch and dinner. Like sure, I’ll accept DoorDash credit from the company but the conversation never flowed well.

I enjoy some bonding events, but usually only if activities were planned for them ahead of time (eg. pictionary)

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.
