@NataliaHEmanuel @nytimes Your argument is awful. It's 2026, you cannot depend upon your workplace to also be your social life, that's super high risk in today's unstable employment market. So, you get laid off AND you lose all your social contacts? Get non work friends! 29.2K views · 1.7K likes · 49 reposts · 33 replies 17 Jun 2026 · Open on X →

To be clear, we also find that some people are protected from the negative impacts of remote work: people who live with family. Their time alone goes up less dramatically and their mental health doesn’t deteriorate as much. Who suffers most? People who don’t live with family. 67K views · 179 likes · 8 reposts · 17 replies 17 Jun 2026 · Open on X →

Medical research suggests that social isolation has health impacts similar to 15 cigarettes a day. Little wonder then that remote work leads to worse mental health.

Here’s why: The former Surgeon General warned about our epidemic of loneliness. https://t.co/sWKmo0Aldu Remote work increases time alone. It means that you don’t interact with others while at home. But it has a secondary, more pernicious effect: staying home leaves the office 94.3K views · 229 likes · 12 reposts · 31 replies 17 Jun 2026 · Open on X →

Now let’s get the straw man out of the way: I’m not saying we have to roll back the clock to 2019’s ways of working. Not every person needs to be in the office 5 days a week. What we need are workplaces that are full of people and foster human connections. 76.1K views · 256 likes · 5 reposts · 37 replies 17 Jun 2026 · Open on X →
