The company I work for in Japan hosted a corporate event. It overall felt ok but I was completely overwhelmed with an icebreaker game where the host would pass a mic towards a random employee asking “which celebrity is your type? A or B”.
Not a lot of people; in fact probably 99.9percent of them felt anything but seemed to just enjoy the game, but for me knowing about what my employees ideal type seemed weird af….. I in-fact did not like it since they were asking the ideal type of an opposite sex and never towards the same gender. It definitely lacked manner and common sense, since in Japanese culture talking about love and relationship during drink events with your employees and boss is not a single problem and is almost like the kick moment for them.
I was lucky for not having the mic passed around to my table but if it did so, I would have asked a different
employee to answer instead of me…
Has anyone come across these type of events and felt like running away from it or had rush to the bathroom because of the ick( I did)?
