Alphecca: Give Workers Guns

Give Workers Guns

Well, sort of. From King 5 TV in Seattle:

Tough day at the office? Having some problems with a co-worker? Is there anything your boss can do to help?

How about arming everyone in the office with guns! The mission: To save a hostage – a hostage they've known for years.

To succeed they'll have to work together like they've never done before. They are heroes of a make-believe mission in a make-believe town, housed in a huge warehouse in Kent, Wash.

This is where the urban training company, NW Tactical, teaches corporate teambuilding in the line of fire.

"Unfortunately, what we see in most corporations right now is you have everybody going for their own goals instead of working as a tight unit trying to get one main company goal done," said Matt Deeds, a former Army sniper who says the military can teach corporate America a lot about leadership, team work and communication.

Spiffy video, too.

If it ever stops raining around here, where I work a bunch of us head to the range most Thursday evenings to blast away our frustrations.

Paintball would work...and at the end a firing squad could splat those who didn't work with the team properly...those things sting!

Your comments are welcome. You don't need to enter a URL and you don't need a "valid" email address, either. Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that.
