> there should be at least some level of friendship.

With teams going full remote, does it still matter ? There’s people I work with day to day I’ll never meet more that once in a month. Same way there’s people I clearly don’t click with on a personal level, but we’re literally keeping distances.

I feel a lot of these rhetorics will have to change now that the day to day life also has change for so many of us.

It probably matters less but I've worked remotely for almost 3 years and I definitely am glad to be at least somewhat friends with my team.

You still need to communicate with your coworkers and being able to develop a rapport is a lot easier (for me) if you have at least something in common.
