Last weekend a friend of Travelthirst.com went on a business trip to Monaco. The managers had decided that they all needed a workshop to get a good working atmosphere in the company. So, they had a lunch in Monaco that seemed to last for several hours, and then they went to a conference building to have meetings.
They managed to get a lot of stuff done, even though there was one of the colleagues that he really cannot stand. They were discussing an issue that they just couldn’t agree on, and he felt more than ever that the colleague was a weight on the company.
Later they all met at a nearby restaurant, where they had the most delicious lobster and curly fries. They also had some wine, and a magnificent ice cream desert. He claims he wont forget that dinner in a while, more than anything because he and the colleague that used to bother him suddenly agreed on something - that poker online is one of the best ways to spend spare time there is. Their discussion about poker continued throughout the evening, and the day after they considered each other friends. By then they had also discovered that both of them spent a lot of time at truepoker.com, so they had probably been chatting with each other after work several times!
Back at the office he has noticed that the atmosphere actually is better, now that they have been doing some stuff outside the office building. He hadn’t expected that, since he only considered his colleagues to be something that was necessary, but scarcely pleasant.
What this story tells us is that travelling with your colleagues has its benefits, and that travelling brings people closer!
