‘What's the point?’: Top employee steps down from organizing ‘fun’ office activities after boss accuses them of being a negative influence on coworkers, leaving the office in disarray

Who wouldn't want their office to be a fun place to be in? An environment that is pleasant, with cool coworkers and a good mood all around. If you spend (at least) 8 hours every day somewhere, it's only fair that it would be a place you can actually stomach being in.

That is why it's so nice when you have coworkers who actually make an effort to make the office a nicer, more fun place for everyone. We're talking about the people who remember everyone's birthday, get a cake to share at lunch, and even pass around the birthday card; The people who always say good morning, genuinely smile at you when you're passing by them in the hall, and never miss a chance to compliment you on your haircut. Without these coworkers, the office is just a bleak, more boring place, and we should never take them for granted. 

Which, unfortunately, is exactly what the boss in the story below did for their top and most 'fun' employee.
