I’m the opposite. I manage a BAU team and our team are active on slack, and seem to be thriving. We have two webex meetings a week, keep in constant touch and we all love it.

Online communities are more than good enough at the best of times so I don’t see how they can’t work in the professional space.

Ok - but I don’t go to work for a sense of community? I go to work to earn money to survive. My tasks get done, profits are up overall so why do I need to feel engaged and how does being isolated have any negative effect on that?

It’s so demoralising as well. There was someone handing out (Scottish) labour flyers on the high street and looked at me like I was an idiot when I laughed and said they’re just red tories.

It’s a race to see who can fuck us over the most for the benefit of the “elite”.
