    Upvoted because you’ve definitely touched on a very real problem that needs to be addressed.

    But you’re completely wrong about the cause. The problem is companies with a bad culture. @Max_P@lemmy.max-p.me said it brilliantly in a comment further up the thread, and I did my best (less elegant) job of explaining it above that. The company needs to take steps to encourage a good relationships between people, for example with casual and non-work-related chats in the chat app of choice, or by having people frequently working on problems in pairs instead of solo, especially when first starting out.

    I had better relationships with my coworkers fully remotely at my last job than I do at my current job despite being in the office frequently. And that’s all down to how the company manages its culture.
