I thought OMG what a crock but I remember the training many of us went through at the Pharma company and glad she won. I read the complaint, the company response and have to say what advice I have been given by a friend in high places applies to anyone who has any employees – It is simpler and cheaper to be respectful and be legal than to go to court and lose. Many large companies hope that people give up in any litigation and most do. The ones you hear about are the ones who don’t give up and there are even more who accept out of court settlement but regardless most of the time there is something that is really wrong with the company.
Many of these 'team building' exercises are sometimes over the edge with physical contact and what you may think is wrong. would you want your wife/girlfreind/daughter to get 'touched' where they feel very uncomfortable?
Image being blindfolded and told to find a ball on a small field while someone is guiding you from the sidelines, easy right? Well it would be if you didn’t get hit with these stiff Styrofoam batons that hurt by people who are also blindfolded trying to defend the ball. The purpose is to build trust with your team. What a clusterf***.
Image a ‘how to handle stress’ training session where most of the people are people who have experienced some sort of abuse – mainly domestic abuse and must participate in a yelling and punching session with the trainers.
Image going to ‘confronting effectively’ class with your manager as part of your evaluation but the only problem with this is your manager is abusive to everyone who works for him to the point that he gets physically angry with any questioning of his ‘authority’.
Image a team building exercise at a bar; Mandatory team building exercise that is. You are told drinking is part of it and what ends up happening is a groping session between two managers and the admin assistances.
Each of these is true and many of us went through a lot worst – these are the mild things that happened. Many people think that we have progressed to the point where people are treated respectfully and things are isolated but they are not.
