I feel a little bad about this

Don't know what slave factory you work in . Many companies have gatherings monthly or quaterly , Christmas parties at the office,bring in birthday cakes for people on the clock and yes decorate the work place seasonally.

I worked for lockheed martin assembly of f-16 and c-30 aircraft parts.The most boring job in the world. Even we had a special events Vendor fairs , a paper plane contest , ethnic expos from Native american speakers dancing around in funky clothes to a cowboy that came in and set up a plastic horse for us to rope. All paid for on the clock for 2 hours each month
It made work interesting to see diff people and diff things each month.
Humans need stimulation often throwing in something different such as a pumpkin contest allows employees to interact and feel a bond with one another as friends.Friends work together and with each other. When employees feel they are friends they stop talking shit about each other behind each others backs.
The pumpking contest places everyone on the same level no one is higher or lower then each other the employees work as a team to create the pumkins decor . Then show their pumpkins to other groups all on the same level everyone has a chance to win.

Pretty basic human nature people that like work and who they work with stay at that job .
People that don't leave . Then you have the work-o-holics that work themselves into the ground get nowhere and are looking for a new job every few years.

You obviously didn't read the part about the pumpkins were to be carved on the employee's own time and not at work.

theres no extended lunch break and no one goes to lunch at the same time in my area. I run a call center.

we have activities. I buy lunch for the whole team. We have pot lucks. Stuff like that.

i know about moral boosting, but that doesn't mean I can't agree with smurfy about it being a silly idea without me having to work in a 'slave factory'.

btw, i work for a very successful company and run the marketing department. we do fun things, which i endorse. but we are adults, so our fun things don't involve pumpkins.
