The story
Every year, the founder of a small company of just over eighty employees sets aside a budget for a voluntary company trip over Founders' Week. Transportation, hotels, meals and insurance are all covered, and anyone who skips the trip receives a $150 holiday stipend instead. Participation has never affected reviews or promotion, and for five years no one has been penalized for staying home.
This year's destination is the Northreach route, and more than forty employees have already registered. Then Trent Barlow, a social-media intern who has been with the company less than a month, posts online that the founder is hijacking everyone's time off for pointless team building to feed his own vanity, naming colleagues in a group photo and leaving out the stipend entirely. The post trends, strangers demand apologies, and the office splits over it.
When the records show that Trent signed the benefit document acknowledging both options, the founder decides that if the trip is vanity, it will be canceled, and the stipend with it, since the two are one package.
Opening
Every year, I organize a company trip over Founders' Week.
We've gone everywhere from the Silverpine Range to the Northreach, from the Coral Keys to the Wildgrass Plains. Sign-up is voluntary, and the trip costs an average of over $750 per person.
Anyone who doesn't go gets an extra $150 holiday stipend from the company.
