If you're not a company man and have interests outside of work... what you're proposing sounds like an absolute nightmare.


It's not about work. In the same way that high school friends are not about the high school... I feel like I am running in circles here.


It's about having a shared context to tap into, it makes things easier, is that what you're saying?


Yep. It's about the constant and intentionless interactions. Not something you can easily replicate outside, even in coworking spaces. Don't get me wrong - it is possible -, but if I am struggling to make the adjustments required (and I am fairly social person), I can only imagine how hard it can be for less well connected people. Make no mistake, this is only going to aggravate our "loneliness epidemic".
