Morning Ksquared ...

watch the drinking coworkers get sloppy...

I wasn't in attendance, but at one of our Company Christmas dances, one of our female programmers in a low-cut dress went beyond sloppy and fell down on the dance floor. In the process of getting up, her top fell out and she proceeded to keep dancing. Somehow she was able to stay on the payroll, though.

organized games are on the agenda to promote team building

That sort of thing was becoming popular when I retired in '95. It was another Human Resources gadget in its kingdom-building game -- go on a retreat to the woods and climb ropes and so forth, while the real problem of inept management by political creatures was ignored.

Then there was the annual United Way Day when we went out to the office building's large lawn and had a carnival-like event, with Company executives and employee committee folks participating in team races and other competitions involving eggs, towsacks, water balloons and so forth. The theory was that it would somehow encourage us to be generous in our donations to United Way, which would give the Company a favorable reputation. Lots of politics in what is probably a good cause with United Way.

Anyway, have fun with your games ...
