You should realize, most of your comrades are idiots who don't actually care about getting the work done, they just want to get paid. Hence, they appreciate the workshops as a break from the monotony of actually working, and see it as a chance to catch a few z's.
But yes, if you're talking about actual productivity, for people who don't want to kill time, you've got the right idea - they're just wasting your time. In terms of this, I suppose I should quote ... somebody, I've quite forgotten who, who ever so famously said - "You're not killing time - you're killing yourself slowly." Well put, random person whose name I've forgotten, well put.
Lol, yes indeed. I quite like the odd jolly away from my desk but these things are mad exhausting. Group activities and all this wild double think nonsense. I wanna do my job! Ah well, it's the weekend
