Team Building
« on: October 07, 2009, 09:42:10 AM »
And for today's nonsense....

due to all the upheaval and trauma of the last few months the powers that be have decided in their unquestionable wisdom that all teams need to have some kind of team building event  noooo: noooo: noooo:

So what have they organised......

what could possibly be the worst idea you could think of.....

no it's worse than that.......

honestly......





















Salsa and Ballroom dances for each team with a 'dance off '  -  happy001 happy001 happy001

I may need to go to hospital this afternoon to have a rib replaced as I have been laughing so much.

Do you have the right numbers, gender wise, to carry this off?

And what about the risk assessment?

Joyce Grenfell comes to mind:

Quote
My neighbour, Mrs Fanshaw, is portly-plump and gay,
She must be over sixty-seven, if she is a day.
You might have thought her life was dull,
It's one long whirl instead.
I asked her all about it, and this is what she said:

I've joined an Olde Thyme Dance Club, the trouble is that there
Are too many ladies over, and no gentlemen to spare.
It seems a shame, it's not the same,
But still it has to be,
Some ladies have to dance together,
One of them is me.

Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
Doing the Military Two-step, as in the days of yore.
I dance with Mrs Tiverton; she's light on her feet, in spite
Of turning the scale at fourteen stone, and being of medium height.
So gay the band,
So giddy the sight,
Full evening dress is a must,
But the zest goes out of a beautiful waltz
When you dance it bust to bust.

So, stately as two galleons, we sail across the floor,
Doing the Valse Valeta as in the days of yore.
The gent is Mrs Tiverton, I am her lady fair,
She bows to me ever so nicely and I curtsey to her with care.
So gay the band,
So giddy the sight,
But it's not the same in the end
For a lady is never a gentleman, though
She may be your bosom friend.

So, stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor,
Doing the dear old Lancers, as in the days of yore.
I'm led by Mrs Tiverton, she swings me round and round
And though she manoeuvres me wonderfully well
I never get off the ground.
So gay the band,
So giddy the sight,
I try not to get depressed.
And it's done me a power of good to explode,
And get this lot off my chest.

Wouldn't an anonymous call to local media put a stop to it, or is it your own time with no funding provided by "the management"

I have a departmental 'team building' get-to-together tomorrow evening.

Original suggestion was a badminton tournament  eeek:

We've settled on pub, miniature golf, restaurant.

I refused to attend any such events ~ same as "meetings". Waste of my time and energy. Anything that didn't earn money for the company and thus increase my bonus payments was a strict "No thank you!"

I was often accused by senior management of "Not being a team player" but since I was, year after year, the top earning salesman in the company I frankly didn't give a f*ck.

Work was something I did to earn money. Bonding with other employees, who I would not dream of knowing socially, was not in my contract.

What an excellent idea, VP Come Dancing, as it were. I might be persuaded to sew a few sequins onto violent pink netting and an acre of chiffon and that's just for the chaps...
