#The Blizzard
I couldn’t believe HR required us to do this, but not as much when I found out the company signed off on this. I mean I’ve been on teamwork building retreats, but I never heard any company force their employees do *this*. It would be one thing if it included the entire section, but only two people? What went from a questionable decision changed into a nightmare when HR matched me up with Audrey Jennings, one of my subordinates. I mean, were they serious? Snowshoeing in the backcountry, in the middle of winter, with no guide? What kind of sick, sadistic, asshole in HR thought *this* was a good idea?
“I’m freezing.” Audrey yelled against the howling wind. “Do you even know where the fuck we’re going?” Wind blew so strong it made it difficult to communicate, while the driving snow reduced visibility to less than three meters.
I came to a stop and looked back at her. “If you believe you can do better, you’re welcome to the job.”
“I can’t believe you don’t have a GPS thingie.”
