A video of employees collectively kneeling and slapped on the Internet recently.
It is understood that the content of the video was a dealer training meeting held in a furniture factory on October 21.

In recent years, certain "extreme" team building activities have often appeared in the public eye.
For example, in September this year, employees were stepped on their feet during a company's team building activity.
Some netizens said that such team building activities "do not treat employees as human beings" and "employees have no dignity at all." Some netizens commented that they have also encountered similar team building activities. It was not voluntary for employees, but hoped by leaders. Brainwash employees through such means.
Another example is that in May of this year, a certain express company in Hangzhou organized 56 employees to launch a team building cross-country activity, requiring employees to hand in their mobile phones, carrying only backpacks, trekking poles and a climbing route map. Afterwards, 18 people were trapped in the mountains, 6 of them People lost contact.
Team building training is to achieve the goal of "team building" through incentive measures or event design. Although team building has become the main means for many companies to expand amateurs, the content of team building is still games, field training and singing and eating. the Lord.
A reporter from the "Rules of Law Daily" found that the team building of some companies was a personal show for some leaders, and some projects that challenge employees to bear the bottom line appeared in the team building activities of some companies.
Because of this, many interviewees believe that some team building training does not seem to play their due role, and they hold a negative attitude towards company team building.
However, some people believe that team building can relieve the pressure of normal work and can also take this opportunity to strengthen the relationship with colleagues.
The team building content is simple and simple
Volunteering is more popular
Mr. Qian, who works for an educational institution, likes team building activities.
"Our team building activities are very simple. After the leader speaks a few words, everyone eats, drinks, and chats together. And they go if they want, and don’t go if they don’t want to. It feels more like organizing a dinner at public expense. Every time I hear that we need to organize team building, I will look forward to it very much." Mr. Qian told a reporter from the Rule of Law Daily.
Ms. Chu, who works in a certain self-media, also has a positive attitude towards team building activities.
According to Ms. Chu, the company where she works only holds one group building every year in the form of outings.
"The first time I was very resistant to team building, but when I first joined the company, I was embarrassed to ask for leave, so I had to bite the bullet. After I went there, I found that the team building of our company is pure tourism, not as scary as it was said on the Internet. , Instead of taking advantage of the team building opportunity to realize the annual travel plan, and after a few days of the trip, the relationship with colleagues has become a lot more familiar." Ms. Chu said that the company’s annual travel destination selected by the team Employees voted, so most employees are more satisfied.
Bizarre tricks are repeatedly complained
Dissatisfaction squeezes personal time
Although some employees have a positive attitude towards team building, there are still many employees who dislike or even resist team building. Most of them are dissatisfied with the team building’s personal time and the discomfort caused by the content of team building activities. Some employees avoid team building activities due to their relatively introverted personalities.
When reporters from the Rule of Law Daily threw the topic of team building to a number of employees who had related experiences, they kept making complaints.
Ms. Li, an intern at an Internet company, could not refuse to participate in team building activities, even though she was only an intern.
"Working in an Internet company is relatively stressful. Even though I am an intern, I have to get off work until 8 o'clock in the evening every day. I am tired when I return to the dormitory. I finally have a rest day but I have to go out for group building. When colleagues are together, it feels like their personal time has been taken away."
In addition to the occupation of personal time, the content of the team building is also one of the reasons why Ms. Li is dissatisfied.
"Our team building activity next week is going to play badminton. I didn't like sports since I was a kid. As a result, I still go to sports after work. The thought of going to play next week makes everyone feel very tired." Ms. Li said .
What makes Ms. Li unable to understand is the various reasons for team building-such as completing the target team building once every quarter, joining the team once for new employees, and building once when employees get married.
In addition to Ms. Li, Ms. Wei, a clerk in a company, also has greater opinions on team building.
According to Ms. Wei's description, before joining the work, she had always yearned for team building activities, but after participating in team building, she discovered that this was not the case.
"The first time I went to join the team building, I went to a small town far away from the city. After I arrived, I started to play some games. Those who lost had to complete the tasks ordered by others. Some of the'punishments' were very embarrassing, such as Answering some very private questions, or embracing strangers, etc., feels infringing on your privacy, but if you don’t do it, you will be accused by everyone. If the whole team is established, the whole person will be in a very bad mood."
The experience of team building for the first time brought a greater psychological shadow to Ms. Wei, but due to workplace pressure, Ms. Wei continued to participate in the team building activities organized by the company. She frankly said, "Every time a team is built, I always want to resign. , But it’s more difficult to change jobs, so I have to bear it for a while and hope that the event will end as soon as possible."
Mr. Wang, an employee of a certain company, also said that the team building activities have caused great trouble for him.
Mr. Wang explained: "I belong to the more introverted category. I can communicate with colleagues at work. However, team building is usually carried out by people from the entire company or from all departments. In this case, There are many people I don’t know. I want to get acquainted with them quickly and then joke or play together like friends. It makes me feel very uncomfortable and I want to leave that environment."
"Dinner karaoke, military training, and field survival are all pediatrics. Harvesting corn, walking Lego barefoot, and chopping boards with bare hands are not impossible." Mr. Wang said.
Some kindergartens also organize group building activities from time to time.
Teacher Zhang, a kindergarten teacher, believes that team building itself is a very embarrassing thing. He feels that the main purpose is not to strengthen cohesion, but to take pictures for publicity.
"The last time the team built our kindergarten to a nursing home, the whole process was to take pictures for the principal and other teachers, which felt very embarrassing." Teacher Zhang said.
Influencing year-end evaluation and promotion
Employees dare not be absent from team building
Since you don't like company team building activities, why do employees have to participate in team building?
Although introverted, Mr. Wang, who still chooses team building and must be there every time, said the voice of most employees: "If you don't go, you will not only be labeled as "no sense of team honor", and I don’t know how colleagues will evaluate you. It will also affect the year-end evaluation and promotion."
Mr. Zhang, the general manager of a large decoration design company, also said frankly: “Although the purpose of team building training is to enhance team cohesion, it is clearly to encourage employees to participate. In principle, leave is not allowed, and there is no penalty for not coming, but it will be treated as a promotion. An evaluation factor for the company. The company’s organization of team building fees to organize activities for employees can be regarded as another form of work. Of course, meetings, training and commendations will be arranged."
A reporter from the Rule of Law Daily found that there are not a few business leaders who have this idea.
