I don't think I've been in a corporate sporting event since 2007 or so. It is fun to see co-workers in a different context, for certain.
In Japan, there's also the end-of-year office cleaning, where everyone cooperates to get the office spic-and-span for the coming year. There's a clear goal, everyone participates, no-one slacks, and it has a result that benefits everyone. Probably my favorite day of each year at that job.
I just now realized that it wasn't a practice at the later, larger Japanese publisher/developer. It's likely there were too many prima donna types there to go for all-hands.
