At my last company, which strived mightly to be a "fun" place, my career went into a virtual standstill. Having "fun" was always more important for upper management than ensuring that research was completed. My current company is about as stuffy, corporate, conservative, and "un-fun" as you can imagine, and I love it. Not only has my productivity soared, but it's also much easier to develop true friendships with colleagues when you're all allowed to create your own fun (while keeping up with insane deadlines).</p> I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Frederic, that seems to be a key word…dragged and then we experience it as a drag.

If your class yelled louder than the other classes that meant you were better. What were we yelling about? Yelling.</p> Reminds me of mandatory “pep assemblies” from Junior High School days.
