Yes. I’m all for trying to build camaraderie and good will but forcing people together to “have fun” is counterproductive. If our personalities didn’t align at work what makes you think they will magically do so at a work “party” and we will be besties? My job sometimes forces us to go to multi-day events that force people to work together in team building exercises. Instead of that it actually just widened the gap by showing people exactly who can be trusted to be competent or not.

This makes too much sense. And literally no manager will ever find around to this way of thinking. Maybe when younger millennials take over? I'm furiously googling articles on dealing with appropriateness of these "holiday"events in a multicultural workplace.
