I think what works really well for these sorts of offsites is to make leisure activities really flexible and let people self-select. We went to one where you could absolutely go to a bar if you wanted, or go hiking with some other folks, or play boardgames with another, etc.
There was probably a soft expectation that you were doing something to socialize, but it wasn't a dictated activity, and frankly if some people wanted to code something with a group that wasn't 100% part of a regular days work that would have probably been fine too.
- _8j50 4y agoI don't go to a bar or do stuff like that. At most maybe we can watch a movie or something but even that isn't an experience I want to share with a coworker. Even working on a cool app with someone is nice but not if they are a coworker unless somehow we genuinley became friends as in the kind that stay friends after they leave that company. Employees do work in exchange for compensation. We are not servants to jump at the whim of our master managers and do random shit like kayak or shoot guns. You wanna build a team, ask them to work together on a project. Boundaries are important and my entire life is not shares with employers and colleagues.
