Working from home (WFH) offers benefits like fuel savings and reduced commutes, enabling relocation and broader workforce participation. However, the author argues it undermines work's inherently social nature, making emotional bond cultivation and organizational culture difficult. WFH can also create identity conflicts, leading to stress. While acknowledging WFH's advantages, the piece warns against its long-term societal impacts, especially with rising loneliness. It stresses the importance of developing compensatory mechanisms to restore social connections lost through remote work, respecting millennia-old social work structures for enduring organizational strength and employee well-being.
