- Everyone's just performing fake enthusiasm
- We're here to work not summer camp
- Creates pressure to be artificially interesting
Disagree
- Helps new people feel included quickly
- Breaks tension before difficult discussions
- Some folks actually enjoy the connection
- Better than jumping straight into business
