I used to despise it. In fact, even when I was having fun, I subconsciously knew the purpose of these lavish exercises is to meld you into corporate culture. Meet the team! Have fun! And come to work!
It is an HR ploy, aided by the backing of thousands of dollars in which they pamper employees with drinks, food and activities. You will soon high-five the most annoying co-worker just because he/she is on your team.
Well, I give up. Why be bitter when you can actually enjoy the moment? So what if the music is awful, the jokes are corny, the people are uncultured and locations are far away. If you are entertained, you are entertained, so long as you understand the context of why you are there and not buy into it. For just today, I have let my guard down, and it was great.
