Aren't Company Outing's a thing?
We do ours once a Year, last time we went to a bird sanctuary.
Our company is across the street from a heritage railway. They operate a steam locomotive railway with a museum at the other end.
We went on a company trip this summer. Which meant we took the railway to the other end. This being something that I was looking forward to doing myself.
But instead of actually, you know, seeing the museum, we went to a terrible restaurant. Where my boss proceeded to drink nine glasses of wine at 2 in the afternoon. While we collectively ate one of the worst meals I’ve had.
Afterwards, he felt so bad about the trip that he offered me another ticket so I could actually visit the museum on my own time :D
Now I want to go that Museum too, it sounds awsome :D Have Fun :D
It is; they’ve got an awesome collection of steam locomotives and matching rolling stock. They also do a lot of restoration work.
Here’s actually a shot from the railroad crossing at the end of our street. And yes, the locomotive is ‘backwards’ in this configuration, as it can equally pull in both directions. Makes it a lot easier that they don’t need to turn the locomotive itself around at either end.
Never had one in the U.S. At best, the food truck shows up or they have a "pizza party," but actually leaving work? On company time?
Damn that sucks.
My former Boss even apologized that they couldn't do one during COVID and made an
even bigger one to "make up for it" as the Lockdown was over.
