None of the hormonal reward
While having meetings in person can be tiring for other reasons (driving, finding parking, waiting in line for your coffee, etc.) it is rewarding in a way that makes up for that. Humans are hormonally driven to be social. When we are with people – really with them, in the same physical space – our body produces hormones that make us feel good. But we don’t get those from Zoom meetings. We just get the tiring part of interactions, without any of the hormonal rewards.
