I am an introvert, therefore biased about extroverts.
In my experience managers and the persons who plan those "fun zoom activities" are extroverts and think that everybody else wants to have fun the same way as they do.
My take is: you get paid to get your work done. If you wanted to do all those fun things you would have run away with a circus.
- hntrader 6y agoThinking about it this way it's clear how unintentionally selfish these events are. It's literally a transfer of energy levels from the introvert who doesn't want to be there to the extrovert who organized it and forced everyone to go. The introvert leaves feeling drained and the extrovert leaves feeling energized. My guess is it's a negative sum transfer - introverts lose more than the extroverts gain.
- lmarcos 6y ago> My take is: you get paid to get your work done. Well, that's what managers think as well. They are being paid to organize such activities ;) Sure, those activities don't make much sense (my opinion), but they think they do (their opinion)... Just let it be. Let them do their job (organize activities) while you do yours (not attend such activities while being in office hours): everyone get their job done and everyone wins.
