Working for a national organisation with over 230,000 employees (UK). We weren't sure what we were training for and were put forward by our immediate bosses. Nice hotel, food etc. First day - our 'trainers' said to us (there were 9 of us), what would you like to do today?. All of us were strangers and from an engineering background. We looked at each other totally bemused, - well what do you want us to do?. They said, you can do anything you like. We were very busy people with lots of work to do and really couldn't understand why we were there. So one said, I would like to go home and back to work. Trainers said, ah, that has happened with the previous five sessions and all went home. Can you break the mold. We said ok, Off the top of my head, I said do you have a tool kit in your brief case that you can pull some exercises for us. Ah, says one of the trainers. Hang on.... He then provided us with a large sheet of paper which we had to draw one of the other traineees. The whole week went on like that. Made some lovely friends during that week though and had lots of lovely food at the hotel. I feel that the contemplation pages is the same. 😀 LOL This is so funny! I'm glad you enjoyed the food and the friends, but I'm more of an anti-social, and I would probably feel trapped in that situation. Yes, the contemplation kinda felt that way: rather pointless. Although it's a shame that they decided to stop it, instead of improving upon it. They could have made something fun out of completing the pages, but for now they took the easy way out.

I'm not completely sure they stopped it because of complaints. I've seen far more complaints about night mode, and it's still going.
