The officials suggested the incident "might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks".
To say the least. Nothing builds teams like leaving a man behind to die.
They might as well confiscate his Swingline while they're at it.
Sounds like they fixed the glitch.
"this retreat is mandatory. it helps build trust"
In their statement, officials said the hiker reached the summit on his own at about 11:30 local time (17:30 GMT), but became "disorientated" on his descent.
His colleagues are said to have told him that he was on the wrong route, and suggested that he regain the trail.
Sounds more like he left them, not that they left him.
You cook fish in the office microwave one time...
If your group says you're going the wrong way and to regain the trail you weren't left behind you got yourself fucking lost...
From another news story covering this: "The man reached the peak of Mount Shavano around 11:30 a.m. but, when he turned to descend the mountain, became disoriented when he found that the group had picked up the belongings being used as trail markers as they hiked down before him, according to search and rescue officials."
When pack it out goes wrong...
Like, from this article? That the guy you replied to didn't read?
yes. Link posted in the comments. https://www.denverpost.com/2024/08/27/chaffee-county-search-rescue-hiker-coworkers-retreat-injured-mount-shavano/
His group failed him. If someone needs to stop for a rest someone else should have stayed with him.
Monday gonna be aaaaawkward. "Oh hey, Bob... surprised to see you..." knowing glance at coworkers
We're a family here! I don't know where these trust issues of yours come from...
I don't know, my first thought was a rewards trip I went on where I could hear the salesman on the balcony next to me talking about all the cocaine he'd been doing.
He stopped for a break. His colleagues went ahead without him(why? Why would you leave someone behind?) He got disoriented. Drops a pin for help (aka asks for help). They tell him to hike back up then come down on the right trail.
Why he didn’t we don’t know. His colleagues didn’t call for a search party. They didn’t go after him. He had to try to get enough signal to do that himself. Where were they at?
If your colleague isn’t showing up in a reasonable amount of time wouldn’t you call someone to help look for him?
Yeah he’ll be pissed and probably look for a new job.
Look at all the comments from people who didn't read the article and automatically assume this headline accurately describes the situation!
He got himself lost despite his coworkers telling him he was going the wrong way.
I read the article and I think you paint just as an inaccurate picture. His colleagues went ahead without him. They friggin left him behind. They told him he was going the wrong way via messaging. It's not like he insisted they were wrong as they are telling him to his face he was going the wrong way.
The article doesn't say why they went ahead of him and no one stayed behind, so we can only speculate and hope that that level of carelessness was actually warranted.
Not only did they leave him behind, but they also picked up the markers they brought on the way down. They created the conditions for him to become lost in the first place.
Yeah, I didn't understand that party of the article.
I bet you his boss called the next day asking why his hospital stay is preventing him from coming to work while telling him to be a team player
There better be a raise involved at minimum.
Yeah a raise in the form of a lawsuit payout
Gotta love team building exercises.
Reminds me of that episode of the Office when Michael turns his suit jacket into a head cover
