I really feel this. I've been working remotely for a few years, and will probably continue doing so for the foreseeable future, but there is no such thing as informal conversation in that setting.
My company encourages everybody to set up "salon" meetings with random people to just chat, but these conversations end up being awkward and forced (though that could just be me).
The result of this is that I feel completely disconnected from my co-workers and my company. I have plenty of other things going on in my life, so that doesn't bother me too much, but it's certainly not ideal.
