I do something similar, I’m on a dev team of 2 and a while back we started going in once a month for a “planning day” where we spend a couple hours in person planning out our month and spend the rest of the day talking to the teams who actually use our software to get feedback and ideas. At first the owner would take me and the other dev out for lunch but we’ve turned it into a whole office thing. So usually the whole offices shuts down for about 2 hours for a nice free lunch when we come in. One day a bunch of us went out for mini golf after lunch on the bosses dime. Another month a couple of us played old Xbox games and smoked cigs in the basement while we “brainstormed”.

To a lot of people that’s too much effort for “no reason”.

People care, but not enough to put any effort in whatsoever.

This is a great response that I’m gone a steal the next timee someone has an issue with my son carrying around an Elsa doll

My current job gives everyone 16 days a year. I love my job, the dynamic, the people, the product. But I won’t last 2 years max with only 16 days off a year.
