I was blasted online by the new intern, Chloe Reed, who claimed AscendCorp was forcing employees to use their vacation days for mandatory team-building events.

No one wanted to travel all the way to a tropical island to put on a show with coworkers.

But what the internet didn't know was AscendCorp's team-building tradition:

Every year, we booked an entire five-star resort, all expenses paid, and employees could bring their families.

We even gave an additional three days of paid leave, with a lavish per-person budget that ensured a truly luxury experience.
