Oh I guess you read “it’s tough” as me being depressed of being alone while everybody else is having fun together in the other office? Shit, hahaha! That’s sweet of you.
But no it’s not about me, it’s about my managers having difficulties keeping our team together because it’s split across France, and even the other site, they are mostly working remotely. There are like one or two people on site at one time, while a dozen of us work remotely from each other.

Anyway my point is we still get the job done because we don’t need to be a happy family, since we’re just doing a soulless job. You can be a cave troll and still do Devops, nobody cares.

One thing that everybody does agree on, though : it’s much easier to work together on a project when you’re sitting next to each other. It helps if you enjoy each other company, which we do.

So some managers must think, well, we must force people to sit together in an office since it’s positive. Which is completely stupid. It’s like they don’t understand human nature at all…
