I think there's a difference between getting employees who work remotely from each other into the same room for a week, and a "retreat" offsite where pseudo-theraputic approaches are used to try to get employees to open up or bond socially.

I think “retreat” is used pretty colloquially and doesn’t imply pseudo-therapy.

		From the article: > “Vulnerability-Trust exercise” From your parent comment: > the facilitator tried to get to the bottom of tensions between the CTO and head of sales I was referring specifically to these sorts of things. Retreat doesn't always include this, but sometimes it does, and when it does it's a stupid idea.
