We had a divisional retreat yesterday, and we had an hour long workshop on "managing colleagues and feelings." I'm known as one of the abrasive ones in my office, and couldn't help but mutter under my breath, loud enough for people to hear..."We are seriously spending 60+ minutes talking about feelings and warm fuzzies? UGH! This will be an hour I'll never get back." I had to decorate my paper plate in pie sections and tell the WHOLE division what makes me me! For some people it was therapy. I was surprised how many colleagues cried while they were sharing feelings, and blaming their various upbringings for everything. A whole day devoted to this. Let's just say I learned more than I wanted to know about a lot of people yesterday. I'm going to purchase these t-shirts for everyone in my group I've decided! :)
