Although there are some advantages of working remotely, as you mentioned, there are also disadvantages such as reduced social interaction and the risk of being changed more easily, I agree with this. In fact, this theory reminded me of the situation my friend told me recently. The working from home system before the pandemic was not as popular as it is now and my friend was working by going to the office, the topic we discussed during the chat was;
Does the post-pandemic hybrid & full-time work from home and going to the office 1-2 times a month make us blunt in social communication?
Since the comment my friend made to him was yes, we thought about whether the time of the pandemic had an effect on this disadvantage, and I think the answer was actually that working from home makes people blunt.
Because I'm the type who believes there is life out there. One should go out in the morning and get involved in active life, even if you have nothing to do, I still believe it is necessary to go out and take a short walk. Because most people cannot come to their senses immediately after waking up and may need 1-2 hours to open as a head. But if you have to be somewhere on time or go for a short walk as soon as you wake up, you'll come to yourself more quickly. I can relate this issue as follows, let's think of a job profile where we work from home. Neither there is environment where you can have a half hour chat with your colleague during the coffee break nor order, discipline, etc. It pulls people into the comfort zone and this comfort zone can turn into a swamp by time, so remote working makes people very socially blunt if it is managed unconsciously.
It definitely makes people blunt and then, when so many people are engrossed in socializing from behind screens, they are even more blunt. It isn't honesty either, it is just poor communication skills in general.
We are limiting ourselves from random whilst only exposing ourselves to the content and viewpoints we want to, so we are severely narrowing our exposure to different view points and topics that can bring perspective and possibly improve our own beliefs and processes.
It is a travesty.
