I find the idea that all your regular human interaction comes from people you work with infinitely more dreadful.

People spend over 1/3 of their day working. It's the only regular social interaction a lot of people get outside of their household. They get a lot more irregular social interaction from other things, but nothing quite as regular.

Have you considered bars?
And maybe I'm just crazy but it seems like software even from the big companies has gotten worse through the pandemic. Which wouldn't surprise me that it's hard to keep everyone working together and on the same page through online calls and chats. I personally feel like I'm not quite as engaged being at home, surrounded by distractions compared to being in an office where my brain goes into work mode.
