Plex corporate retreat Honduras
Definition
A infamous 2017 corporate retreat organized by Plex, Inc., a media streaming technology company, where approximately 120 remote employees were flown to Honduras for a week-long 'Survivor'-themed team-building event costing around $500,000. Intended to foster bonding through beachside meetings and island challenges led by an ex-Navy SEAL, it devolved into chaos due to logistical nightmares, food shortages, oppressive heat, interpersonal drama, and a near-mutiny, becoming a cautionary tale in Silicon Valley.
In tech industry lore, shorthand for a spectacularly failed offsite event, highlighting the perils of extravagant, poorly planned company bonding trips.
