"People need social connections with their peers to work together successfully."

Our team doesn't, are we anomalies? People need to be mature, reasonable, responsible and accountable to work together well.

No you’re not.

There are many people who have never developed social connections outside of school or work and unilaterally decided that that is how people must socialize. After all if they can’t socialize outside of such an environment surely no one else can. If they can’t see a person as a person if they’re not face to face surely no one else can.

It’s unfortunate that these folk provide backup to the executives who are forcing RTO simply to provide the appearance of value and/or control over the plebs.

Well, I was really more addressing social connections with my coworkers, we share jokes, care about each other too but most I'd say have families and several of us are geographically diverse, so we don't socialize with each other or very little. Outside work, I do have social connections, long term friendships. I wasn't addressing socializing or not across the board.
