Understandable. Some of us actually want team cohesion and collaboration instead of working on Jira tickets in isolation. Others want a purely asynchronous communication style that keeps the chit-chat to an absolute minimum.

I personally want to know what's going on in far-flung corners of the company, because I'm fundamentally a generalist who wants to understand the big picture.

Personality types and home situations matter a great deal in these situations.
