I think we all got that, slim, and I believe we all agree with you. My point, and the one that I believe others are trying to make, is this: if you have a job where management doesn't realize that a little fun is important and worthwhile, that doesn't give you the right to give your duties any less than your full effort.
As a matter of fact, whether you realize it or not, you've made my point in the above quote. Notice the end of your statement, "...as a reward for all their hard work." That implies that the hard work comes first, then the reward. Not the other way around. This thread isn't about the hard workers out there who have shitty bosses. It's about the shitty workers who don't deserve a reward.
Furthermore, don't place the responsibility of making the workplace fun solely on the shoulders of management. It is the entire staff that is responsible for workplace atmosphere. How can you expect your boss to make the workplace enjoyable when he has workers who don't do their jobs.
If the workers don't work, production and efficiency suffer. Then your boss's superiors rip him a new asshole. You think your boss is going to come out of his office after getting reamed and make sure you are having fun? Hell no! He's gonna come rip you a new asshole. It's circular.
On the other hand, if you work hard, your boss is happy, his boss is happy, and I bet that will result in you being happy as well. This is also circular.
