The other day my manager said that he misses coming to the office because back then if he wanted something he could just come over and ask.

Meanwhile I've specifically chosen to work remotely so as to not be bothered by anyone when I need to focus.

In my pre-COVID job I had a manager who would come over and tap me on the shoulder, sometimes not to engage me in conversation but just as a sort of primate greeting.

That was about as low on the morale barometer I have ever been, and I hope I never have to anywhere near an environment like that again.
