You are not weird but you are missing the point of why companies do it.
These things have the benefit of enabling you to get to know your colleagues, establish networks, break down communication blocks, etc. In other words, in addition to being fun, they also benefit you as an employee and the company overall.
That's why the companies spend money on it and in my experience they get return on it.
Hope this helps.
- Kudos 6y agoExactly, the pool table itself doesn't help with retention nearly as much as the relationships people build while using it does.

If both parties felt interested enough we'll hook up out of work. At least that was my experience.
