As VP in a company, I took my employees to see the new Star Trek movie “on the clock.” It was a morale exercise.
I’m not opposed to ANY organization having a morale boosting activity once in a while. It actually boosts productivity over the long run.
Yep.
I think that my problem - though, I wasn't the least bit shocked by it - it's that they lied and tried to cover up when they were caught.
For a PRIVATE organization, that is no problem whatsoever. They are free to do whatever the want. It’s not MY money they’re spending.
If you work for a GOVERNMENT AGENCY...ANY government agency...then it’s just not appropriate to be spending taxpayer dollars to goof off.
(Of course, I realize that 70% of government would have to be SHUT DOWN if we went by that rule...)
