That is very true. Ive worked for some large corps before (largest being Encana) and for the most part, management never cared who showed up for their events.

I dont care about embarassing myself. I play hockey and ill be swinging the club with my hockey swing. I will look hideous but i dont care. Is it gonna make me go home that night and say "hey im going to work on my golf swing and get better for next time?" hell no! If theres one activity that i absolutely cant stand even hearing about, its golf. But my goal is to attend to socialize and get to know others, not golf (because I would rather watch my toe nails get painted).
NOW, IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT QUESTIONABLE WORK ACTIVITIES. One of my former jobs, from years back....we all had to go swimming. Management took a lot of backlash for this one because there were a lot of employees who didnt want to be seen by all their co workers in bathing suits and chose not to go.
