What work from home has ruined?

Most corporate office grunts are at a minimum on some sort of hybrid schedule these days in places this was unheard of before Covid. Most look at this as a perk, but it is ruining society and structure. Examples I see:

Nobody has work relationships anymore. When I say relationships, I mean colleagues as you progress through the grind you become ‘friends’ with. I’m not sure who the younger generation will ever use as references in the future.

Jobs you stayed at because you liked the people you worked with and it paid off.

‘Lunch with the boys’ is dead. No more killing time with the boys while talking about the new hot secretary over lunch.

Social life and more importantly social skills are vanishing. No more walking down the hall or having a kitchen conversation with others to collaborate unplanned.

Work/social events. Ping pong tourneys, trivia, potlucks.

Lovebirds in the office. Most marriages used to be between people who met at work. Who doesn’t miss figuring out what trendy outfit you were going to wear on casual Friday to look cool in front of ‘ol Lacy?

I could go on and on, but more important than that is what is happening to people that all of a sudden have zero structure:
-alcoholics
-divorces
-porn addicts
-don’t know how to dress in public
-no social skills
-no real career
-video game addicts
-streaming services


All this just makes me sad, OT. The younger generation needs to be put in their place and realize what’s best for them. This is BabyTac…talk to me!
