My work makes new employees stand in front of everyone at their first staff meeting and sing and dance to the nursery rhyme “I’m a little teapot.” They started it after I was hired but I’ve watched three batches of employees do it and it feels demeaning even though it’s not happening to me. What purpose does this serve? People smile politely but no one is laughing except our facility manager who I guess to be fair also does the dance each time with them in a false show of solidarity.
