I have a friend who is 62 and works part-time at Home Depot. The powers that be decided it would be a morale booster to have the employees participate in some fun and games after the store closed. So----after working all day, they had to stay there for another two hours to play games like on the TV show Minute To Win It----physical challenges like using a tennis racquet positioned between the legs to move a gumball on the webbing from one spot to another without using their hands. They do get paid for their time and they will be fed, but still........
Makes me very grateful to not have to do this! Wonder if any employers have actual research showing that such mandatory events boost morale? Even if workers had fun during the event, does it translate to a better attitude while working the next day or next week?
