    I have never once attended a “team building” event and liked my coworkers more after.

    That sounds like a you problem. I’ve had a great time at all of them.

      Why do you automatically assume it’s a problem with them and not a shit-tier HR team whose idea of teambuilding is a fucking pizza party for 40 year old software engineers?

      Do you like shit-tier pizza parties? Are you just a generally easy to please person? Do you expect no more than the bare fucking minimum from life?

        Because the people responding, myself included, don’t get sent to a pizza party for a team building. Probably way higher end, and they are reflecting on that

        I don’t care who you are, free pizza is a gift I will accept any day. It will beat anything else I would be bringing in for lunch.

      I mean sure.

      So are you saying you are a proponent of causing a problem for me? Because you have a great time, you endorse forcing me to go against my will?

      I guess I’m not saying “don’t do team building”, I’m saying “don’t force people who don’t want to go to go.”

      If I am doing my job, and I am remote, why are you compelled to fuck around with me and make me uncomfortable for 10% of my work obligation?
