A social event put on by an organization having some
form of
authority over event attendees where those attendees are
generally confronted with the dilemma of attending the social event or facing some generally undesired consequence.
A: "Sorry, but I can't go to the
beach with you this weekend. My employer wants us to attend this
team-building retreat. If I don't go to the retreat, I'm required to
show-up at my workstation and perform my duties."
B: "Oh, so they want you to have some mandatory fun, huh? It's okay!"
