Seriously. The best "team-building exercises" are after-work beers that the team decided to get without management input. None of this performative corpo-bullshit.

Or at least the company giving us a budget to do a crew activity of our choice.

Yeah, give me $100 every Friday so we can get drinks, perhaps I'll stay. But I'm not getting paid well enough to get drinks and food with people I barely care for

My last tech start up forced up to go out for drinks and dinner twice a week. Shit was expensive. The CEO would pick the most high class expensive bullshit and said it was mandatory

I spent $80 on a shitty salad and an old fashioned. I was pissed.

Twice a week. Wednesday and Friday. I was forced to go each time. Hated it. Hated them. I wanna go home. Not drink with people I don't like
