This is a feature of remote work, not a bug. I cringe to put on the company themed shirt I am required to wear at the office on special occasions. The esprit de corps at my company is used to justify unpaid overtime and working on weekends. I would rather first identify with something else, like my family or local community.

It just sounds like you have a bad job, and yes, in that case it is a feature, not a bug. Because any system that lets you stay far away from a bad job is good.

But there plenty of people who actually love the place they work and the people they work with and do it with healthy work/life balance without the stupid company shirts. Hard to imagine for you, just like it's hard to me to imagine caring about my local community.
