Agreed. I couldn't help but groan while reading through this post. I enjoy the company of my co-workers but would not appreciate having to spend 5 days with them in a rental house away from my family and comforts of home. I get the idea of having a team vacation or group outing, but mixing in workshops, forced cross team "collaboration" exercises, "role playing", and lectures on "thinking big" would absolutely just kill my morale. Sure, company culture is important, but if it's built like this you can count me out.
