State employees, do you guys do team building exercises? If so what kind? And do you like them?


Hey so I’m noticing that everyone in our office doesn’t really meld together all that well. We have a very small group in our department like I wanna say 9 but it’s very..clicky? Would be the best way. Like the lawyers talk to the lawyers, two of the girls I work with work mostly together and I work with the other girl who is often left out of things because she is an immigrant. I’m closer with my boss than some of the other people I work with and I want us to just be more…friendly? And so I was wondering if your workplaces do team building exercises or small events everyone can participate in to get to know each-other. If yalls team does do this, do you guys like it or do you feel like your being pulled away from important work?

The biggest thing is I travel in a team of 3 and the two girls I work with don’t like me very much because I’m the youngest with no kids, fresh out of college, mentally disabled, and I am shy so they kinda just leave me out of things and so I wanna try and mend that at least a little? Or at least improve our working relationship but I want it to be for the whole office.

Any advice would be nice and I would like to see if my boss would be down for the ideas you all suggest!
