I have never found that face to face interaction caused people to act nicer. If anything all of my face to face jobs I have had coworkers drop the ball countless times where the next person in the chain gets screwed over. It was more demoralizing when you confronted them because they don’t give a shit unless THEY are geting screwed.
But most people aren’t malicious. Rather, most are dumb and incompetent which causes most of the issues. They don’t think about the sequence of events required to get a multi-person project completed. They don’t think about how many people are behind them and that when you are slow or late to get your job done or you do it poorly that it affects others.
I can think of numerous times when the first few people in a project took their sweet ass time getting their part done while not working after hours causing me to have to stay late because I was the last step and had a hard deadline. This type of shit happened regardless of our proximity.
Because those who see each other’s faces coordinate closer socially and might eat you. We live in a society, not a friendly place sometimes.

Not nicer. Just you’d be more likely to see those going to backstab you deliberately. OK, everyone has their own opinion

An it sounds like it might be part of this so called problem in society. You can’t make the world a better place without starting.
