ENA slack-off buddy is what real coworker bonding is about.

In China right now, young people are all about the 搭子 (dāzi) — an 'activity buddy' you pair up with for one specific thing: a lunch buddy, a gym buddy, a coffee buddy, a travel buddy. It's 'precise companionship, light socializing' — you do the thing together, then go your separate ways, no obligation to bare your souls. Behind it is a real feeling: many young people are time-rich but money-poor, a little lonely in a big city, and they want company without the heavy maintenance that friendship demands. As they put it, '搭子就是搭子,不用交心' (a dāzi is just a dāzi, no heart-to-heart needed) and '比朋友淡、比同事亲' (looser than a friend, closer than a coworker) — so people post '找个饭搭子一起吃' (looking for a lunch buddy to eat with) and just like that, they're a little less alone.
