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.
I think it doesn’t count as parasocial if you actually know each other irl, but I’m not a sociologist.
The work friend thing can be emotionally draining af sometimes though.
Did somebody say pizza party? Yay, being treated like a grade schooler is just what the workplace needed.
