CMV: Icebreakers in a workplace is a total waste of time and money
I was applied for a job to make money and spend time working on applied tasks so that the company could still make money.
Yet somehow my boss and colleagues would enjoy these socialising events as a form of 'building cooperation relationship' like there was no contacting among different departments or coworkers in the same room, and would convince or force me to participate.
For example, at this time of the year, there will be a sports day which I was forced to participate as a stand unit. Everybody in this regard would probably have to waste practically 3 hours a day every weekday practicing the pattern until the real deal. 3 hours in office hours to be precise.
Avoiding these events might affect my bonus, promotion, and reputation as well. I tried to ignore social relations within workplace as I have no interest in anything other than coming to work and secure my position.
Why should I support these events and traditions, and what would be the most obvious, non-abstract benefits of it?
Ultimately, should I change my workplace entirely and why? And what are the chances of encountering this again?
