Remote made me very isolated, and especially in a team where we are 3 people and everyone else is 15 years older than me with kids and I have nothing in common with them. I could go do random meetups outside work but that's usually weekends as I live further away from bigger city, so that means that at least 5 days of the week I stay home barely talking to anyone.

I think this is just a temporary phase until society figures out how to adjust to the new environment. Nothing about remote work enforces isolation. You can work from a coffee shop, you can work from the beach, you can work from a library, you can work from your friend's house, and yes, you can work from home.

If home isn't fitting for you, try anywhere else on Earth. There are probably new environments that are possible that have not yet been created. Let's explore those. It's very likely that the office isn't the single best place on Earth.

Keep in mind remote work is not for everyone.

If you need other ppl company to fill the emotional emptiness - dont work remotely.

Its more for the ppl who work task based or hourly based consulting and are free to do something else after.

I just tried remote and it's a strange blend. No commute makes the morning a lot lighter. I can operate as I want without having to tag along others (lots of pauses or chit chat usually..) but it also makes me more stressed (I plan to do 20min walks outside to replenish). I don't get along with most my colleagues either but my main one is cool enough.
