Ice-breaker activities during meetings, at least 98% of them. I've had a rare decent one, but it's usually cringe-worthy.
They had us in a circle passing around a ball to music. Whoever held it when the music stopped had to say what leadership means to them. On one round, a very shy woman in our office ended up with it, she looked like she wanted to die.
After several rounds of that, they doubled down on it and made us do it again, this time saying what you're thankful for. Just turned into employer arse-kissing, "I'm thankful for such great co-workers/employer", etc etc. Felt so fake.
Like what was the point of that? The majority of people clearly hated it; basically played hot potato with the ball, mortified the music would stop on them lol.
