    Yes, but it’s also the most logical place. What other activity do you dedicate so much time to? Maybe sleeping but it’s hard to build a community around that.

      According to my kids, candies are the most logical place to get most your nutritions from. Where else could you get so many calories?

      If most of your time at work is spent socializing, couldn’t you cut your work time and build your community elsewhere?

      If most of your time at work you spent on honest hard-work working, how much community are you really building?

      Cut you calories. Life doesn’t happen at work.

      It would be logical to work less and get our own community. A lot of people work hard all their lives and die soon after retirement. That’s not logical.

      Quality over quantity.

      Great places to socialize are sports-clubs, social-clubs, volunteering, activism, religious communities…

      I’d much rather spend five hours a week distributed over two or three occasions with people i share interests with, than with people i share work with. Meanwhile at work i am mostly engaged in small talk, that is quite repetitive as i see the people every day and i have to guard what i can say and what i cannot say more than in other circles.
