[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have about 20 people in our contracts department. Every year there are 2 people who refuse to participate in Halloween potluck lunches, secret Santa gift exchanges, summer barbeque and the occasional happy hour. Personally, I am okay with people not participating especially if they do not want to be there, why bring the moral down you know? But there's a few in this department who take it personal that these 2 individuals do not participate. The spend weeks yearly complaining. I don't care one way or the other if we stopped having these gatherings. These 2 people stick to theirs guns about team building exercises being so outdated and being forced to hang out with co-workers is a thing of the past. Are they correct?[/quote]

It's work, not pre-school. A Halloween potluck lunch and secret Santa are not team building exercises. Once social activities become overly organized and not spontaneous (Hey, who wants to grab a drink) they become drudgery. [/quote]
