I made an observation though. In most of the trips, it was still very bureaucratic as the senior management tend to keeps an arm length from the rest, making the entire event very "tedious" and everyone was dreading for it to end.
I am so glad it wasn't like this!!
It is nice in this company, as while not everyone is necessarily "friends" there is still a lot of joking and the attitude of "assume best intentions" when talking about anything and everything. People don't take offence very often - as long as the conversation is genuine.
Hahaha. "Assumed best intentions" sure is an interesting concept! Haha. Yea, but I realise that many a times, the highest ranking officer for that group really can make or break the entire event. You only need one nincompoop and the painstakingly planned event will just go down the drain!
