Remote work is not necessarily a good thing for the worker

Your opinions probably align with everyone's (see Paul Graham's recent post on Orthodoxy Privilege). I hate online happy hour because there's some person who's going to try to talk about politics and won't take the cues to shut that shit down.

It's incredibly dangerous to talk about anything remotely controversial at work right now, if you're in 100% remote/lockdown work. I've heard this from multiple non-work friends. I personally avoid it whenever possible.

Hell, it's not even work friends. I know people who have completely stopped texting each other over narrow political views.

Its nothing wrong in looking for „friends” at work, but its rarely a good idea in the long run for most.

Current modern world and its problems can get to you and rot at work also.

Its very hard „not to” talk about some things.
