Skeevy Team Building Event stories

Question Title

* Hi, I’m writing an article about Team Building.

Please share any anecdotes about team building events that were a mine field of inappropriate behavior, or that were such a disaster the team building session actually caused more silos and competitiveness, or other catastrophes.

I'm looking for stuff like
• “...way too much touching for a business-related event”
• “...women vs. men, women won, men got all pouty”
• "...it was suddenly a wet t-shirt contest"

If you would you like to submit your stories, please continue!

OPTIONAL: Please enter any demographic info you'd like to include (age/gender/race/etc.) here:

* Please share your anecdote. If you have more than one, or or if you think of one later, you can post additional info on this reddit thread: https://reddit.com/r/SampleSize/comments/cb45u6/academic_ish_got_any_skeevy_team_building_event/?ref=share&ref_source=link (you will need to save this link!)

If I use your story I won't share your name/id/etc.

Question Title

* If you were presented with this as a team building game, how would you feel about it?

Human Knot : Have everyone stand facing each other. Instruct everyone to put their right hand out and grab a random hand of someone across from them. Then, tell them to put their left hand out and grab another random hand. The goal is to untangle the knot of arms without releasing hands.

* Have you ever asked to not participate because it was uncomfortable and you then suffered repercussions at work? If so, would you share some details?

(If you have more than one story to share, you complete this survey as many times as you like.)
