Work "fun" events that happen outside of work hours are totally bogus.
Yep. People don't put up enough resistance to our workplaces invading our personal lives.
Shameless plug, but this is exactly what we do at Mystery. We have a curated catalog and the ability to distribute supplies to your team. The activities I’ve helped vet are all super fun and engaging and our customers have loved them as well. https://trymystery.com

We had a real DJ come and start off each day in spectacular fashion over video link recently. The team LOVED it, he took requests and it got everyone awake and excited for the day ahead.

Now I know my role. Maybe I should incarnate the Mickael Scott role, have a separate office, and be so much a caricature of the boss that they’d have to laugh.
But Mickael Scott was the only one at the airport when the girl left.
I was randomly chosen to come up with an event for my team, a couple of weeks ago. Our team had recently doubled in size, and I have never met some of them face to face. So I decided to come up with a 1 1/2 slot, where a team member could present something about themselves.
