I don& #39;t like this trend.

I know a lot of you are going to turn Reply Guy on me, but I don& #39;t think it& #39;s good for humanity for everyone to work from home. Thread: https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1260249996638613504">https://twitter.com/dvassallo...

When I moved to London, then NYC, I knew almost no-one. I was able to form deep, meaningful friendships largely because I worked in offices with people. I can maintain those pre-existing relationships now, but I think I& #39;d struggle to form similar new ones if we all WFH& #39;d.

I get that not everyone enjoys their coworkers& #39; company. I& #39;m sorry if that applies to you! But I really think a lot of WFH evangelists chronically underestimate the harm to the fabric of society if people were to become even more isolated after Covid than we were before.

People don& #39;t like to talk about this because no-one wants to sound like they& #39;re incapable of making friends outside work. The reality is I think a lot of millennials *do* predominantly make friends that way, and we& #39;re the age group most likely to suffer from serious loneliness.

A society with fewer strong social bonds is a more fragile, more volatile society. And loneliness is widely recognised as a major health crisis. Let& #39;s not make it worse! WFH should be an option, not the expectation.
