Teambuilding Camping Trip Turns Bad
The management team, where I work, recently decided to send a group of us on a teambuilding exercise. The outcome has been two colleagues resigning and one undergoing disciplinary action for gross misconduct.
Although attendance on the teambuilding event was not compulsory many signed up out of fear that non-attendance would not be good for their careers. They had planned a packed intinerary including archery, hiking, climbing and orienteering. But no sooner had we arrived and things began to go downhill.
There had clearly been a major breakdown in communication as many people apparently had not been told what they needed to bring along. Many people had turned up without sleeping bags and some had even omitted to bring any proper outdoor clothes. This immediately led to arguments between some of my workmates and a small contingent decided this was their cue to go to a nearby pub for some lunchtime refreshment.
The organizers had provided all of the essential camping equipment including optional tents, hammocks and tarpaulins, ideal for the hardier, experienced campers. I opted for the log cabin option as this was comfortably furnished with bunks.
When my colleagues returned from the pub they were clearly the worse for drink. The afternoon was to be spent orienteering around the local woodland. The organisers had arranged a 6 mile treasure hunt through the nearby woods. The prospect of walking 6 miles was clearly too much for the group who'd returned from the pub and instead they chose to sit in a clearing smoking, drinking whiskey and telling jokes.
When the evening came it was time for us to prepare our evening meal over a campfire. We were provided with a selection of raw indredients to cook for our supper including chickens, potatos and other vegetables along with dried fruit and juices. A few of my drunken colleagues decided that the menu was not to their liking so they got on the phone to a pizza delivery service in a nearby village. This prompted the orgnisers to call a meeting with all of the attendees to make certain we all knew what was expected of us.
Thnings didn't improve as more alcohol was consumed and people became increasingly restless. The group who had chosen to go for a liquid lunch had missed the opportunity to choose bunks in the log cabin so they were expected to sleep in the tents. Several people were very unhappy with this arrangement and said that they would be going to a hotel. When one of the organisers pointed out that this was outside the spirit of teambuilding they became quite belligerant and one even threatened the organisers.
The result was that several people who were clearly unhappy with the exercises heading home early. Those of us who remained had a pretty good time, but it was clear that the organizers couldn't wait to see us leave.
Hopefully this tale will prompt managers to make certain that they communicate with their team to ensure that everyone buys into the teambuilding activity. Its always important to make certain that everybody is fully aware of all that is expected of them.
do chartered flights like for Sports Teams have to go through TSA checkpoints?
I have never seen a sports team at an airport have any of you? could't they just as easily carry bombs
They usually fly on private plans.
