Why are companies obsessed with this shit? I don’t care about icebreakers or whatever I just want to clock in and do my job and then log off. I don’t think I should be harangued just because I don’t participate in every damn meeting.

The common wisdom is that it reduces turnover without having to reduce hours or increase pay. Hopefully the employer is smart enough to know this shit only has any hope of being effective if it isn’t mandatory, lol.

My last two jobs had a bunch of mandatory fun events and I would always just not go and then lie about having gone

Being a gifted confabulator, I could always convince people that, yes, I was in fact there and yes, I did see Liz fall down during a trust fall because Amy has noodle arms
