I have a very busy social life (so this isn't me being a introvert) and hate forced recreation with coworkers. I don't hate them, but we're not friends either and I have stuff to do. My guess is that management pushes this for loyalty. If all you do is work and get paid you're likely to exit the first year they don't give you a competitive raise. If you're part of a family then you'll stay and even trust the ceo when he says that no layoffs are coming.
