> I can really understand how it feels from their perspective. Work feels much better when we do stuff that makes us connect as humans, and quarterly corporate events don't cut it. They created a culture where they did something fun together and had a conversation topic other than work, and there's this one guy who just refuses to participate and doesn't even try to find a way to include himself in the group. Could also say the group failed to integrate a person who had different preferences for their free time and then bullied them when they weren't present at work? I think both perspectives are quite extreme and miss the mark. If reading a book a week in my free time was a work requirement, I would be out and quick. That sounds ridiculous!
