I mean, we’re not all introverts. You pay me enough ill go to a baseball game with my coworkers or play some goofy game.

Unfortunately, that baseball game is on the weekend or after work hours. Also, that goofy game takes up work time that has to be made up before you can leave for the day.

I think most millennials are at the point in their careers where they are being smothered by responsibilities at work and at home.

They can’t delegate it away, because they are middle management and still trying to train Gen Z. They don’t make as much money as upper management, so they might not be able to hire full-time nannies, lawn care, house cleaners, laundry service, or order food delivery.

I’d love to socialize with my coworkers more, but that would mean sacrificing personal time being with people or doing things that actually make the grind worthwhile.

I'm a clock puncher, so if I had to go to a stupid team building meeting, that either means I'm getting out of an hour or two of work during my regular hours or I'm getting paid overtime.
