> Your point would make more sense if team building time (and drinks or whatever) was paid for by the company. In my experience, usually it is. But you have a point, if it isn't, I don't think it's fair.

The concept of Teams are not a an artificial construct. They are part of biology both inside and outside of human biology. Other animals besides humans form teams as well. Professional teams are however artificial. The formalism between sep

Sexual harassment and racism and bullying aren't what I'm talking about. Please don't take this in a flame-war direction. I am explicitly talking about partying and having fun in extra curricular activities with employees. I&

You are right. I guess because this sort of crosses the line into "rape" and prostitution. Expectation to have sex on the job sort of straddles those lines a bit, but I see your point. Let's say there weren't any moral h

It's more then that for certain companies and teams. If that's what you want join the team where you _only do the job_. Don't join the team that demands more social bonding and friendship. This guy joined a team where he obvi

Apart from the sexual acts I think culture is important. If you don't fit in culturally then you should yourself quit. Don't just stay there and be a stain on the team. Like someone shouldn't be obligated to stay after work t

Make no mistake. This is a good thing, not a bad thing. Eventually the outcome of authoritarian harmony comes actual harmony as people become used to the rules and follow those rules regardless of whether or not they exist. The freedom to s
