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.

              That’s hellish. I guess the one nice thing about my old job was they knew better than to try and increase morale any way other than food (that was on the table as an option at least).

              I bet everyone just says basic stuff like “this is a picture of a dog. I like dogs” and it moves on and nobody actually gets to know one another anyways.

              HR departments live in reverso-world if they think that helps.

              I mean if you get paid for that it sounds like a pretty good deal tbh
