Bonding experience backfires.

|

I have consistently been a little jealous of my sister plus her task.

She is one of those corporate types that travels the world on a biweekly basis plus I cherish hearing about her trips, however i had to laugh when she called the other morning plus she was exasperated over her latest adventure, apparently, her management team decided that they should all travel to the mountains for a corporate “bonding” experience, however this trip involved laboring with high elements, rock climbing, plus backpacking overnight through the woods. None of this seemed up my sister’s alley plus I couldn’t imagine her in that environment. Her idea of roughing it was a hotel room without room service. She said that most of trip was at least tolerable plus she did make some modern friends, but, there was none of the creature comforts that she was used to, but she said that they didn’t even have electricity in the so called chalets plus she had to drink Starbucks Latte that was boiled over a fire. She said that her roommates plus she did anything but bond as they argued over who had to get up plus put wood on the fire so that they wouldn’t be cold at night plus when my sister wanted to open the windows for fresh air during the morning, one of the others said that it bothered her allergies. This trip had the exact opposite effect that upper management had intended. The lack of an Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system, bugs, sore muscles, plus lack of sleep, only wanted to make everyone get as far away from each other as possible; My sister was never so excited to get home to her comfortable bed plus Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system.
