> ice breakers I don't understand this aspect of corporate/startup culture. Who the hell likes ice breakers in meetings? Everyone I know -- and I mean everyone -- has started joining late in an attempt to avoid ice breakers. (I actually know who likes them: all those "life coaches" that regularly get hired by startups with too much money.) They are infantilizing, kindergarten-like activities for adults who will never again speak to each other until the next ice breaker activity.
