I guess you haven't had the pleasure of participating in monthly workplace "hackathons". Of course participation is optional, but it can look good on your promotion case wink-wink nudge-nudge.

I think hackathons could be fun but they should either be done independently from a company or do something that's not of any direct value to the company but something fun.
