So from this I hear “stress out the introverts to bully them into silence and it’s so much easier for the extroverts scheduling the meetings to figure out where they can claim credit having only scheduled meetings”.
Well, welcome to society, which consists of different types of personalities all mixed together. You want to stress-out everyone else too. That isn’t better. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.
As others said: the solution is to have individual exemptions, not preventing everyone from get-togethers in the first place.
Edit: btw. not even “introvert” is a good-enough category. I am also introvert and am completely depleted of energy after a day in the office or a team event. But I still enjoy it. You need to force me to attend, but afterwards I am typically glad I did.

Gotcha.

I have said nowhere to prohibit social people from being social outside of work.
This entire thread is about forcing everyone to socialize with their coworkers for 10 percent of their time on the clock.
Stop goal post moving.
