I wonder if they will get you to do those "trust exercises" where you pick partners and you each fall back into each others arms. If they do you should let your partner fall. Just for laughs. Do you get paid for it at least?

I can't imagine a company being able to make an overnight retreat mandatory. Tell them that you got a jealous husbear that will beat the crap out of you if you leave for a night.
