Dumb Corporate Events

So, I was talking to a friend who had to go to a corporate event where the theme was Extreme Sports.

Yes, a team building event celebrating individual activities.

I know. Go with me here.

So, they solicited everyone to submit their “extreme sport” story so they could come up on stage and be lauded and applauded by the management.

Want to know what I think?

Extremely Jaded: Since when did athletics make you a better salesperson?

Extremely Misguided: Encouraging our best and brightest to risk life and limb!

Extremely Impossible: With reduced staff and no free time, how can we engage in sports?

Extremely Simpleminded: Encouraging INDIVIDUAL extreme sports at a TEAM event!
