I’ve been living here for a few years now and it strikes me as so bizarre not to acknowledge someone’s presence as they come into the office. Is it the norm here? I am a Northerner so this could be a reason it is so jarring to me.

    I’m at a remote first company and it definitely feels more awkward between folks in the office than at my previous fully in the office company.

    I still say hello etc to people have have colleagues I get along with but not as many people I’d consider actual friends as where I worked before.

      Yeah same. I’ve been here a year now, and wouldn’t say I have any friends or mates. I find it much harder to get casual chit chat into interactions over Slack.

      Do you have regular video calls with the folks you work with remote?
