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.

Jesus Christ I would have got up and quit right then and there.
