You hit the nail on the head. Lately, things have seemed like a zombie cheerleading cult. I am there to work, not to have friendships forced on me. I will find my own friends from people who genuinely care about forming a friendship. All of this is HR-driven, the black hole repository of PC culture.
Right?!
I hate all this bonding with coworkers. And, being odd man out who doesn’t want to bond with people I work with other than those where it comes naturally.
