My favorite experience with this was when I worked at a sporting goods store, we had a district wide meeting an hour away at 7am, planned in under 24 hours which changed everyone's weekend plans, and it was mandatory.

The district manager comes out and does this, but to only a handful of good mornings, and the second time was met with dead silence.

He awkwardly tried to use our lack of enthusiasm as an example of "employee bases theft from the company" because if we aren't faking being super happy and perky the second we're at work, the company loses sales.

They handed out some shopping bags with some kind of peach smelling candy and some hand sanitizer. When the meeting was over, I didn't see a single person take the bag with them, and everyone basically sprinted to their cars in under a minute.

Productivity was just a word the next morning. It took two days to unload a truck that normally gets done in 6-8 hours.

I don't think anyone organized some kind of slow down and forgot to tell me, I think we just all felt the same way "fuck this place, I work hard and they call it lazy so let's see how they like it when I AM lazy"
