Training Juniors Remotely Is Possible. Here's How.
Tools like Gather Town to encourage more ad hoc group interaction. One team I led used this tool daily for nearly a year, and the frequency and quality of our interactions were on par with an in-person office. - Source: dev.to / 9 months ago

Do people miss informal chats with coworkers when wfh?
I'm really digging gather.town for this. Our team has it set up & the ad-hoc "meetings" have gone up tremendously. You can choose to engage or not but it seems to be way more informal than slack for a quick sync, which is a gigantic strength imo. Source: about 1 year ago
Do you agree ? I don't but this company also asked new joiners if they'd join at half of what they were offered. I don't know if they are feeling the heat or are we wrong about remote being best model for IT jobs.
As mentioned above by @yowzas648 you should check out https://gather.town We started using it this week with my team and it is game changing, it does exactly what you just described. Source: about 1 year ago
