It goes both ways though. Up until now the nice chat zone was limited to people on the same floor. With WFH we got people in other countries joigning the chats on equal footing.
The info density difference also seem to be compensated by everyone being more open and comfortable (not packed in noisy office for the day)
There's definitely less random chats, it's more formal and less intense, but also broader and the hurdle is lower.
I think for companies above some size it's not better or worse, just different.
