This is what I worry about losing with remote work. I'm functioning just fine now because I already knew all my co-workers well before we started WFH. But if I were to go to a new company and start remote, I would feel completely lost. All the chit-chat can feel like a waste of time, but IMO a lot of useful information about the company is transferred that way. And there's no way I would jump on a video call with someone I don't personally know to just talk for an hour. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
