We’re going here on November 13, with my office. It’s going to be awesome.
Apparently there are a limited number of suites available at the resort. Rather than dole them out by seniority (which would leave me and Baby Food Blog sleeping in the lobby), my firm has decided to create an elaborate point system (only a consultant would love this) to encourage participation in office events.
Look for me to be yeah-ra-ra work events in the upcoming months.
I used to feel that bonuses would be better than perks. Stick me in C-class office space and skip the fancy parties, I thought, and pay me the difference in cash. Let me decide how to spend it. The thought of vacationing with my co-workers did not appeal to me.
But now I’m starting to feel differently. Maybe this is the first time I actually enjoy spending time with my work colleagues. Maybe I’ve found my tribe? Or maybe I’m starting to realize that “work” is not a place I go just to “make money.” It’s a profession. And my colleagues are an important part of that.
Or maybe I just never had the opportunity to visit a lavish resort in the Grenadines for a work event!
In any case, I’m psyched.
