Valid. I’m not huge on going out with coworkers either unless we click on mutual interests.

Very fair. That said, going into the office isn’t going to help that.

Socialization is always brought up as an excuse not to allow WFH. The thing is though, replacing real socialization with work fucking blows. Talking to a coworker to get the latest TPS report isn’t socialization. It’s work. The only time you do any real socialization is after work ends. And there’s nothing stopping you from going out to dinner with coworkers when you work from home.

“I can’t be as innovative over zoom”

If someone uses female as a noun instead of an adjective, there’s an 80% chance they’re a serial killer, and a 100% chance they’re an incel.

I wish we had a good term. “Content Creator” is meaningless and allows vapid instagram and tiktok people to slip in. Film maker has some serious connotations with Hollywood and movies that will give people the wrong idea. Media creator kinda works, but it isn’t specific to what type of media.
