My network has expanded, but it was deliberate on my part. Acquaintances that I meant to talk to more often, especially geographically distant are now much easier to make regular contact. Before, conflicts with travel, out of the office meetings, at workshops made it very difficult to line up calendars. These days, there is a good likelihood that a 30 minute meeting will work.

It’s been much easier to avoid the time burners that pounce on me at the office. It’s been wonderful missing out on their complaining and uninvited ‘thought leadership’. They can post it to Yammer and LinkedIn.

I have a few friends/coworkers who became remote over the years. Our contacts had been more infrequent, but still there.

Now post covid I not only contact them, but ask for "remote work advice" since they're experienced pros.
