In the same spirit as this we have a “donut buddy” system in slack that randomly pairs you with someone from another org. Some user entered topics are listed such as entertainment and cuisine to kickstart conversations. It’s been a great way to humanize things. I’d love to do this in person.
Minor expansion: The bot handles the calendar coordination, too. Meets are 30 minutes and finish with a screenshot posted to the channel and end of the year there's a collage that's created. I'm fond of the stats.
- loopdoend 3y agoCool idea. It seems like there is some intrinsic motivation when doing this at a workplace that would be missing with random strangers.
- bluefirebrand 3y agoMy workplace had something like this and everyone opted out. I didn't realize everyone had opted out until I got matched with the same person several times in a row. Turns out we were the only two people still left in it. Which is funny because the company did those Myers-Briggs tests and I scored as one of the most introverted people in the company. Edit: And no, I don't put much stock in that sort of personality test, but the company did it and it was interesting to see the results, especially compared against "This is where most of your coworkers landed and here's you"
