What Are Would You Rather Questions For Coworkers?
So, what exactly are Would You Rather Questions For Coworkers? Simply put, they're questions that present two choices, both usually a bit quirky or challenging, and you have to pick one.

They're popular because they're easy to understand and play, requiring no special equipment or preparation.
These questions are used in a variety of ways in the workplace:
