UPDATE: 42-year-old boss tells 29-year-old employee that she's not being a team player after she solves escape room quickly: 'My boss is giving me the cold shoulder'

This team-building activity did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do! 

As long as a team-building activity happens during the workday, a lot of people relish the chance to have a "recess" type of break. They get a mandated chance to step away from their inboxes and have an afternoon off. Some businesses will have a company lunch, or plan a trip to an amusement park, or like, this company, maybe they'll take everyone to an escape room. 

I know escape rooms can be polarizing: some people love to solve the puzzles and beat the timer, while other people roll their eyes at the goofy clues. Regardless of how you feel about it, at the end of the day, it's just a game. This person's boss acted totally weird about their game, though, and this person took to the internet seeking advice. It's a good thing she did, too, because things definitely escalated! Check out the full story, plus two updates, down below.
