"Work from home is the tits. But lack of whiteboarding sucks."

Literally the only thing I miss

Do you know that you can just buy a whiteboard?

Or was the point a shared whiteboard? If your Teams-or-equivalent doesn't have it, there's still an app for that.

Shared white board. It was nice being in a room with a bunch of other salty people brainstorming an idea and doodling on a board

I read it as collab. I hate in-office work, but I'll admit it is just easier to walk over to a whiteboard with a coworker to hash things out.

Sure there's software for "whiteboarding" but it's just not the same. And until everyone has drawing tablets it won't be as freeform

Totally agree - it’s not at all the same. White boarding and the camaraderie you build in person are the things I miss. Thankfully my team still gets together for a week once a quarter. I think that’s an pretty ok balance.
