[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we are human and need social interaction, facial expressions, and time to communicate outside of discrete work tasks to feel good about ourselves and be productive. People need to see and hear each other to informally learn from each other. We know that being together in person reduces cortisol and stress levels. Being isolated associated with higher levels of disease.[/quote] +1000 I can't take working from home full time any longer. I also believe this is why people have become more irritable. [/quote] You need to still see humans but it doesn’t need to be during work. I walk to a coffee shop some days on my lunch break (or get in a run or group exercise class). I also walk to get my kids from school and we hit up the park or have playdates. They also have sports in the evenings. I no longer have a commute but I still get dressed and leave the house every single day (mostly on foot now instead of needing a car). This is why I thought it was silly when people said WFH would be the death of cities and close-in suburbs. In fact the opposite. Living close-in with lots to walk to and neighbors nearby has been a lifesaver. I can see how people could become depressed if all they ever did was work in their big house way out in the exurbs and never saw anyone on a regular basis. I used to live in a neighborhood like that farther out. The lots were bigger and more private. No one out walking except maybe a loop around the block on occasion. I had no idea some neighbors were alive except for their garage doors opening and closing. [/quote]
