FSU and Arizona State both have online "ordinary" CS bachelor's.

I thought ASU was software engineering, and not CS. However, they are very similar.

Hm, okay. Maybe I'm special, in a bad way? I don't know.

I never really got along with people that I was "forced" to be together with. School, University, Work. I mean, people liked to work with me and I'm mostly really polite and inclusive and all. But I didn't find many people I considered interesting at these places.

I got all my friends from meetups, online communities, parties, etc.

That's perfectly fine. Some people prefer to keep work at work. It is good to do though if you want to climb up and understand the politics at your office (which sucks). I'm also just a super social person, and kind of an outlier.

I have the feeling this water-cooler talk thing is mostly an issue if there is no focus or the management is bad.

If everything is fine, I don't talk much "privately" with people at work and some "more social" individuals talk about their private things, when "at the cooler".

If there are problems in management, we talk about these "at the cooler".

Water-cooler talk is a way to bond with others. Some of my greatest friends were made at work, and this talk happens when we want a break. Usually getting food, coffee, or going to work out. Water-cooler talk isn't only there to bad mouth management, but to make connections/friends.

Wish I enjoyed working remotely, but it drove me insane when I did it for 8 months. I was ignored, time zone differences sucked, actually need human interaction, and I needed guidance as a junior. It's 100% a culture thing, and if I ever do it again, then I'll make sure to choose a company which embraces remote work.
