“Birthday cake at the office is a social experiment in forced enthusiasm”
Agree
- Nobody actually wants cake at 2pm
- Singing feels awkward for everyone involved
- Disrupts workflow for obligatory celebration
- Pretending to care is exhausting
Disagree
- Small gestures make people feel valued
- Breaks up monotony of workday nicely
- Team bonding matters for culture
- Free cake is always welcome obviously
