chrisp65 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 We were given a broadsheet newspaper and sellotape and told we had to build a bridge between two chairs. We sent a few of the group out to get cakes and coffees, dicked around for 45 minutes and then pushed the chairs closer together removing the need for a bridge. We didn't win. They tried their best to congratulate us on our lateral thinking but you could see they hated us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I'm not a team player You shoot the other astronaut and use the air escaping from their suit to ride them back to the mothership. Back on earth you explain that the other astronaut willingly gave their life selflessly for the good of all human kind, and that they tasted a bit like chicken. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 25, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2014 There's a hell of a lot of value in effective team building. Effective being the key word. It's massively dependant on the scenario too. Some workplaces won't benefit from it, some will. Done at random it's pointless, I agree. But Teambuilding as a concept is incredibly important.

Popular Post mjmooney Posted November 25, 2014 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2014 My missus went on one of those team building things - she thinks they're bollocks, too. Anyway, the task was to work out the area of carpet in the hotel. Everybody rushed off and started measuring rooms. She went and found a member of staff who had access to the receipts for the carpets, wrote down the answer, and went to the bar. When they judged the results she was disqualified for 'cheating'. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they judged the results she was disqualified for 'cheating'. Should have been disqualified for going on her own to the bar - not very "teamy" that. SHe should have got the others to go with her.

villaajax Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 we have got some **** 'fun, values day' at work today basically everyone on the team acts like idiots and takes part in 'team building activities and shit like that jesus christ this is the exact meaning of hell for me, I would prefer to just spend the day working...you know, what I am paid to do, I'll no doubt get in the shit for standing at the back and not participating, I should be really excited that they are getting pizza in for dinner for us, sorry but I would prefer to eat a ham sandwich at my desk rather than eat a single scabby cold slice of pizza. I just can't understand how everyone can get so buzzed about something as piddly as this "Kraft Durch Freude" did wonders for German morale in the 1930s.
