    A friend told me that as part of a “team bonding exercise” they were asked to sing one of their favorite songs with the lyrics re-worded about their job or company and I am so thankful that this bullshit hasn’t spread to my country yet.

      🎵 I know a task that gets on everybody’s nerves…🎵

      🎵Why does this meeting never end🎵

      🎵it just goes on and on my friend🎵

      🎵Some C-suite level jokers heard that number must go up🎵

      🎵This could have been an email but we’ll forever ever wonder…🎵

        🎵I suffer, but why?🎵 - Napalm Death

        • changed lyric to meet the assignment
        • reflects feelings about the task
        • ends your turn as soon as possible so that the next poor soul gets to participate in this corporate hazing ritual

      Team bonding exercises can be great though, e.g. going go-carting on company time or having a walk.

      Enables you to be more kind to colleagues.

      There are so many songs from the labor movement that can easily be modified for the modern office environment, I’m sure your boss will love it.

      🎵 You write 16 reports and what do you get
      🎵 Another day older and deeper in debt

      or

      🎵 My dad was an accountant and I’m an accountants son
      🎵 And I’ll stick with the union till every battle 's won
