Unless there was exceptional reasons for it, it's a surefire way to make your best talent resentful. All these "company retreat" type things are concocted by HR-types justifying their own paycheck. It's anti-leadership.

I wouldn’t do it on a Monday morning, that’s for sure.

Having worked for a few companies that don’t have the ‘HR types justifying their own paycheck’.. it IS possible to find a positive environment. The one thing they’ve all had in common was a sub-100 head count.

It's not about the environment, it's about spending 4 hours listening to executives talk. If there's that much important material to cover, it should be written down.
