Utterly humilating team building exercise

It depends if it was Star Wars lego...

I had a teambuilding afternoon recently. We were roped together and told to run round a 3 mile assault course carrying a large log on our shoulders. In the rain.

I could do it okay. And I didn't object because it's considered antisocial to do so. But my main feeling was "What's the bloody POINT?!" Sure I can do it. But I could also sit in a cafe and have a chat over coffee. I know which I'd rather do.

I don't think it particularly built any team spirit even, cos one guy just acted the little hitler the whole way round and shouted at everyone - who ignored him. How does that build team spirit?

Lol. All the managers have been sent outside where there is a dressing up box full of medieval clothes and props and a big map on the ground with things like 'action' and 'inspiration' written on it. Luckily I can observe from a safe distance. I have recently escaped my hell job and am now in the happy world of meaningless IT in a faceless corporate monolith. No Canteen though...

LOL my friend organises and runs these events all over the world.

Focus groups for asocial fuckwits who run the BBC, and other organisations which are dominated by middle manager dickwads who have no friends.

She finds it hilarious, and is very well paid for making them pretend to be back in primary school.

True. I would've done it if there was a Death Star.
