    physical contact

    Can’t think of any instance in which I physically touched my coworkers and I sat next to them every fucking weekday for 5+ years

      It’s not touching them, it’s just interacting with them irl, makes your brain more active and produces more stuffs in it.

        You’d have to prove the oxytocin gain on net is higher than the overall return produced by having the flexibility to work remotely.

        This isn’t a zero-sum exchange, and I personally am not convinced it is positive in-person. Rather, remote work with frequent travel-based interaction, paid for by closing offices where possible and renting space where not, seems to be a better return, from what I’ve seen.
