14 coworkers allegedly left their colleague stranded on a 14,230-foot (approximately 4,227-meter) mountain. The employees had gone on a team-building expedition on an office hiking retreat to Mount Shavano in Colorado’s San Isabel National Forest, USA. People on social media have since encouraged the survivor to sue his job.
“In what might cause some awkward encounters at the office in the coming days and weeks, one member of their party was left to complete his final summit push alone,” Chaffee County, Colorado, Search and Rescue said in a statement.
The team-building expedition gone wrong unfolded Friday (August 23), with rescuers explaining in an official statement: “Initial reports to our communications center indicated a group of 15 hikers on an office retreat had left the Blanks Cabin Trailhead at sunrise that morning, with a group completing summit attempts and a separate group ascending to the saddle [area of the mountain] and returning from there.”
