Strangely, many of the telemedicine jobs my wife’s been offered require the doctors to come to the medical office to do the telemedicine. For no real reason… They can’t quite let go of making people show up.
I think in general management likes to see bodies it can exercise control of.
I exaggerate my love of human interaction. Humans can be draining and infuriating, and having to deal with them via screen or phone can make it easier. More distant, less affecting. This may better many workers mental health.
On the downside, there have been coworkers, some, over the years whose presence I’ve deeply enjoyed. On the other hand, some people are maddening.
