The problem is that so much of the work-sponsored open socialization feels fake. Fake smiles and say fake things. Everyone has to type the same "kudos" message for every accomplishment or they're not showing teamwork. The team I was on where everyone had to snap audibly in applause for anyone else "sharing." The pressure to drink together because that's what shows friendship in a frat. Etc. So much garbage!
