Team Building nonsense, this Saturday!

[Scoffers]

that does seem to be the generally held opinion here. In fact, I would go so far as to say that is the opinion of all but ONE of the people here.

The ONE that matters, sadly.

Maybe he expects us to beat them at the Rugby, and doesn't want anyone to watch it !

On one leadership course I did we were in the middle of Bodmin Moor when I had to build a raft & get my team across a "shark infested stream". Now, I've seen the Blue Planet & I'm quite certain that sharks are not found in streams, especially on Bodmin Moor.

Can never be too careful though. You never know.

Tell him from me he's a cunt.

If there was a free bar, somebody might just have had the 'courage' by the end of the night!

I have to arrange some team building exercises for my office for next week, I have three hours to fill, and no clue how to start (apart from all buggering off down the Toucan)

That is EXACTLY how I'm hoping it will pan out. He wrecks our day, but gets his commupence when everyone wolfs down their dinner and rushes through to the bar to watch the garlic-munchers get BEATEN by Johnny Englander. I'd love the Frenchy to have to sit there and 'enjoy' that.

Where is it all happening? I'll come along and tell him from me he's a cunt.

You poor bugger.

Why dont you go into the work kitchen......put some salt in a glass, fill it with water, drink it....make retching noises, rush to the loo and go home sick!!!!

As I say, if I could get away with it I would.

There may be a queue of people lining up to feign illness on Friday afternoon, but it WILL be held against anyone who does.

I wondered about having a 'nasty fall' during the team-building excercise, and excusing myself from the dinner, thus getting home for the rugger?

that sounds like a plan...and you can sue the bastards.

I like your thinking.

What a nightmare!

We had a Company Conference the other day, a Monday.

Included a banzai exercise where the executive Directors had been filmed in a swimming race against a dog for a stick, in the HR head's swimming pool. We were in teams and had to bet on the winner. Other 'games' were ops. heads in a footrace dressed as frogmen and BU Heads in a crack the raw egg on the head 'russian roulette'. All filmed for our amusement.

We then repaired to a trendy bar in the West End for free bar, Company 'Oscars' , free canapes and general piss up.

Now that is a team building exercise!

HKFC - my advice would be, get another job!

Is it the sort of team building exercise that involves overweight colleagues having to walk across high-strung rope bridges, and fall backwards off ladders, trusting their workmates to catch them?

I don't know - it is 'secret'.

All we know is that it is 'outdoors' and that we are advised not to wear anything that we wouldn't want to get 'grubby'.

I too shall be 'team building' this weekend, with the Royal Marines.

We have been advised to bring a bin bag to put our clothes in at the end of the forced march / assualt course, as we have been assured that we won't want to take them home

 

[Woodchip]

Strike, it seems to work for the posties.

 

[Buzzer]

This weekend - to celebrate being single I shall be getting absolutely plastered with my mates. Now, that's team building.

 

[East Staffs Gull]

How are you so sure that he won't have a pleasant surprise for you at 8.00pm?

Good work!! Keep it up.

The last thing I want at the end of a day listening to motivational speeches, then building rafts in the rain [and NOT watching the sport] is a 'pleasant surprise' from a Frenchman. :shudder:

 

[Peter Grummit]

Do you have to drive home at the end of the evening, Hans?

There is a bus from the venue back to Eastleigh at midnight, and the company have sent an e-mail round five minutes ago saying that they will pay for taxis home from there.

Luckily I am getting a lift there and back with my immediate boss, so will hopefully escape straight after [hopefully] watching the rugger.
