"Network" is measured by Outlook emails, Yammer posts, and Teams conversations and meetings. I'm willing to wager money most peoples' network metrics increased simply because offline conversations never happened, and they moved to online conversations where necessary.
Not only this: online, the cost of “growing” your network by adding more recipients is (nearly) free which is very much at odds with offline growth. So my guess is the quality of weaker connections actually diminished even if the number of connections increased.

Not to mention throwing everyone who might need to know about something on a thread because you don’t know who should be. This would be measured as a network increase. But it actually represents distancing.
