You’re not the only one, coworkers that i only see online feels as distant as most Facebook contacts.

Ultimately this leads to less enjoyable work experience and thus more likely that workers switch jobs earlier than before.

I have witnessed that the opposite also holds true: less enjoyable coworkers are now less irritating simply because of the added distance and buffer room, making them easier to tolerate* than when having to deal with in person on a daily basis. *quality of work notwithstanding
But now imagine starting a new job and not being able to build that distant network at all. I have colleagues who joined half a year ago but have never seen a coworker outside scheduled videoconferences.
