It's amazing to me how much I simply can't relate to people because I spent COVID being an "essential worker" (retail) and therefore spent the entire time working like I always do, and then the world went back to treating us like trash as soon as it ended.
For me, COVID was driving down empty highways with just the cop cars and one or two other cars for company where there should've been dead stop traffic, carrying a piece of paper that said it was legal for me to be out there.
We didn't even get holidays off.
Not nearly the same, but I had a similarly odd experience in that I worked from home for years prior to Covid. For a while, the biggest change for me was that suddenly my coworkers were scheduling "beers over zoom" and other such oddities to not go crazy over... my daily routine.
First time I'd spoken to many of them since going remote and moving away. Was kinda grateful when they all seemed to get bored of that and returned to leaving me alone lol.
Since then, I've switched to a different job, where the whole team is generally remote, and have much better relationships with my coworkers, which is nice.
