I once worked in a small company, it was sold to and absorbed by a larger company based in Schaumberg. They were so cheap they figured the best way to have a company sales kick off was to force everybody to spend a week in Schaumberg (sp? like IGAF?).. And spend it there for yearly kickoff.. in Feb.
They did that the first year after acquiring the company I was at around Thanksgiving the November before. High temp for the week we were there was... I believe... 8. Within 2 months over half the people from the little company I had been at quit.
Yeah, only gets worse as you get older in my experience. In my 20's I was the ringleader of a 60 person crew of people partying constantly, camping as often as we could. Now in my 50's , I have my wife, one really close friend, some yahoos I'm in a fantasy football league with, and well... all you jackwagons. May God have mercy on my soul.
