Will remote work replace office work?
The pandemic has forced the adoption of telework. However, the office has not said its last word. If rubbing shoulders with your colleagues in the flesh provides real pleasure, it is also beneficial on the professional level. This newspaper moved its offices this summer. And in undoing boxes, I had two questions in mind: will we again use these dozens of staplers and hundreds of shirts that we kept? And has the pandemic changed the lives of office workers forever? This second reflection is at the heart of a questioning that currently occupies labor specialists around the world.
For more than a year, we were forced to experiment what many had been demanding for years. It is quite possible to allow employees to work from home without businesses collapsing. Many companies have announced that they will be testing the hybrid mode this fall. If the movement grows, we can imagine a world where it would no longer be necessary to live near a large urban center to work in a cutting-edge field.
However, I see an obstacle on the road to this hypothetical future: that of the pleasure of meeting «for real» our comrades in arms. Laughing to release pressure at the end of a busy day. Feeling part of a gang. I begin with the purely psychological benefits, but there are many others. The indirect transmission of information and experience, which is often done at lunchtime or in corridor conversations, is difficult to recreate remotely. Digital industry bonzes have every advantage in claiming that their tools make physical offices obsolete. But it is not impossible that the pleasure we will have to find our collar

Feeling part of athe gang.
A gang = street gangs, the gang = friends
The indirect transmission of information and experience, which is often done at lunchtime or in corridorpassing conversations, is difficult to recreate remotely.
Or "in conversations in corridors"

I've never heard of bonzes, and although I looked it up I am unsure how you are trying to use it here. I think a better word is professionals? But I am unsure.

I don't know the meaning of this sentence so I can't correct it. The ending is very unclear.

Will remote work replace office work?
The pandemic has forced the adoption of telework.
However, the office has not said its last word.
If rubbing shoulders with your colleagues in the flesh provides reis beneficial on a social or emotional pleasurevel, it is also beneficial on the professional level.
"provides real pleasure" is a bit weird.
This newspaper moved its offices this summer.
"The newspaper company I work at"?
And in undowhile unloading boxes, I had two questions in mind: will we use again use these dozens of staplers and hundreds of shirts that we kept?
"two questions came to mind" might work better depending on the precise effect you are going for.
"will we use again these dozens of staplers and hundreds of shirts that we kept" is still a bit stiff, just because we rarely use "again" in that position in modern colloquial English. Rephasing as something like "will we ever use these dozens of staplers and hundreds of shirts again, or did we just keep them for no reason?" may be better if this is meant to be more casual.

Feeling part ofa sense of belonging to a gang.
"Feeling part" is not a valid construction; "feeling like [you are a] part of a" might work.
"gang" in English often has a negative connotation (e.g. drug gangs).
I begin with the purely psychological benefits, but there are many others.
