It is such a breath of fresh air for the millennials who enjoy the flexibility and minimum pressure.<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe often find workplace conflicts with coworkers, not physical fights. We find competition, something that ignites jealousy, which we don\u2019t find at home,\u201d she added.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>However, human sociologically still needs social interaction. Even on technology-based interaction, which goes beyond space and time, direct social interaction is still needed. It will improve human understanding of the interlocutors better than technology.<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the digital community, we still need social interaction.
