Same. I've never had a problem. I typically talk to my team numerous times per day via Zoom, Slack, Phone, etc.

I think the poster has an issue with their company that they are projected onto the industry.

Couldn't the same be said of you? I don't think anyone is asserting that one system is the best. If an entire team/company is able to be happy and productive in a remote-work situation, then more power to them. Its often the case that some people prefer remote, some don't. The ratio varies between companies. Personally, as a manager, I would prioritize overall team happiness and efficiency over placating a few individuals.

It sounds like the OP we're replying to wants a daycare, not a company. There's plenty of them out there (including the original subject of conversation), but I wouldn't call it a preference.

People like this don't want a structured workplace because they prefer it; they want a structured workplace because they need it, because they never figured out how to live by themselves after university.

May I recommend a nice solitary walk in a park followed by a picnic lunch for you? Might help calm thinks down.

OP said they prefer to resolve in person rather than Slack/Zoom/etc. They weren't projecting, just expressing a different preference for what they find productive.
