Remember when you would go to work, do the job and go home -- and that's it? Jeremy Bradley talks about how workplaces have become hangouts and, worse yet, daycares for employees. He mentions how playing games, having contests and winning $5 coffee gift cards is meant to boost morale and facilitate employee engagement but, at the end of the day, most workers want to come in, do the work and leave. "I know one company where management guilts, if not forces, employees to go to the holiday party so their department is represented," says JB. "Employees don't want to spend an evening and have a free meal with their co-workers on a Friday night." He talks about how his offices are run a completely different way... because they're grown-ups.
