Reply to comment by TheFaucetIsStillOn in Opinion: It’s time for federal employees to return to the office by 22304_selling

Devil’s advocate- solitary confinement is the worst punishment we have and considered human rights violation. So humans do need some social interaction. I suppose arguing on Reddit can fill that need, which is “artificial human interaction”.

Where does this idea come from that people aren’t getting any face-to-face social interaction if they aren’t going to the office?

Instead of having daily interaction with strangers, I have it with my family

They do need human interaction… but let them get it outside of work! I know a few people at work who 50+ and single and living alone. They enjoy coming into the office. They openly say they need the social interaction.

How terrible that they’re not getting their social needs met outside of work. People at work come and go. Idk why you’d want your social network built around a group of people you will be in contact with for 2-4 years.
