Why do we have such a toxic culture of making work "fun"?? What the hell is wrong with people? Why can't we just do work, go home and have your own kind of fun with other people you enjoy being around???
Because your corporate overlords believe that if you can build a connection to your workplace and colleagues, they can guilt you into producing more value for less pay out of some misguided sense of loyalty. A job is a transaction. They don't give a shit about you, you don't need to give a shit about them.
But I'm afraid they've been wildly misinformed by the HR overlords or whomever on 'how to get employees to build a connection to the workplace and colleagues' cringe
