The worst culture initiative at my org

Our HR decided we needed a better workplace culture and introduced this thing called Mandatory Unwind. Every Friday at 4 PM they block our calendars for a virtual dance party on Zoom. You have to keep your camera on. If you turn it off the HR business partner literally pings you on Slack asking if you are feeling disconnected from the team.

Last week my manager was screaming at me over a P0 bug. The clock hit 4 PM and we both had to drop off to go watch our VP awkwardly bop his head to a Spotify playlist. I went right back to fixing the prod issue at 4:30 while pretending the last 30 minutes never happened.
