Today, a colleague and I had to travel to a different office 2h away one way to play our mandatory game of table tennis....

It's now 5 minutes past my official working hours and they still haven't pulled out their foldable pingpong table. So respectful

In your company you need to travel to a specific place and play table tennis?

Mandatory game of ping pong??? On top of having to travel 2 hrs outta your way, holy shit!

They had to have balls to do that.

you can say you professionally played ping pong now

@Lensflare yes, our revenue was negative so their idea was to do a table tennis tournament amongst colleagues to boost morale.

We had to play vs a colleague decided by a raffle and had to travel 2h to him (he had to travel +1h). Played 10 min of table tennis but the ping pong table was still folded away and got pulled out 30 min after my working hours ended. Played a game and fucked off. I left home at 07:00 and came home at 20:45. Love me some traffic jams also.

@wojtek322 Also, I was an idiot and carpooled together with an other colleague so I could not leave earlier. Lesson learned

BOOSTING MORALE is having you DRIVE 2 HOURS to play PING PONG??? Fucking seriously!!! It’s taking me 2 hrs to wrap my head around that.

I think the subtext is you gotta learn to be more competitive or be a loser

and that's the morale

They have certainly boosted the morale… in the negative direction.

Wow.

Nothing better than 'mandatory', morale-boosting activity imposed on employees.
