[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just say something like "enjoyed the nice weather this weekend" or "caught up on laundry." You don't need ot announce you discovered your husband has been having an affair with your sister.  :roll: [/quote]

OP: An icebreaker I can handle but my issue is feeling forced to respond in our weekly meetings! Furthermore the sense I get is the responses should be cheery or exciting. [b]No one wants to be the person who says, “I did laundry.”[/b] And since folks get asked specifically there’s no way to opt out if you’re not on the best mental space. [/quote]

Why not? If you think the whole exercise is stupid, why does it matter if you just did laundry?

As for the "being forced to respond" issue, consider talking to your manager and saying that you would be more comfortable if people were encouraged to volunteer but not called on by name.

None of what you describe would bother me, including telling the meeting "I did a lot of laundry this weekend" if that's what happened. You sound insecure.[/quote]
