Have you ever attended any work-sponsored events that were actually enjoyable? I know people love to rag on "team-building" activities, but surely there's something people might actually have fun with? It'd have to be during company time, of course.

When I first started in this business, I found these sponsored events fun and allowed for an opportunity to connect with higher management.

Not a big fan of mandatory fun stuff, aka team building. It's just annoying. I've enjoyed when places I've worked held social events, it was good to meet people from other departments and just hang out casually. I think it's generally better to just put people together and let them talk, there doesn't have to be any activities beyond that. Well, maybe having a few beverages.

We have gone to some work happy hours and they have all been very fun actually. I think it helps that we have a really good team that all get along very well so that makes it alot more fun. We have also gone to baseball games together in the summer and those are really fun too.
