From Town Hall to the Hills

For six months, we had mostly been left to our own devices. Then my CEO called for a town hall meeting to announce how much money we had lost, and outlined the way forward. Yikes, yikes, and yikes. Still have a job, but its gonna be way tougher. That revelation was followed by our annual dinner (yes, we still have money budgeted for food) at Tropicana Golf Club. The great thing about the evening's event was that it was graced by my group chairman who gave a short speech, and handed out certificates to staff who had been given recognition by the management. Of course the certificates didn't mean much, but how often does one get to shake hands with one of the richest men in Malaysia?



Following that, we had a team building at Selesa Resort. A double-decker bus picked us up from the office early in the morning and we were off. A short registration later, we went to the coffee house for breakfast. Right after a quick ice-breaking session, we were sent off on an Amazing Race kinda thing. Vandalized the place as we went along, collecting all sorts of stuff for our challenges. Then we had lunch, complete with a birthday cake for the March babies. Next up was a game called "The Mole", a game of deceit and distrust. Then we were tasked with making a model airplane, and later it make a marketing pitch for it. It was all fun, but sad to say that my team came in last!
