Are calls and emails not social interactions?

Sounds like you have a digitally mediated social life at work, you’re just choosing to use 1980s technologies.

Social interaction is obviously inherent to work.

What I don’t like is having to maintain social media inside work.

No they're for professional interaction. I don't go on calls and send emails to discuss social aspects of life. I do it to get the job done.

Workplace was never about “work social life”

I'm legitimately confused why anyone would log on to it if not to use it like social media

Do you genuinely think that reflects most people’s views about work life?

I don’t know. What I don’t need is a virtual place where I pretend to be excited about the company, my coworkers or my boss.
