Last week it was clear: I won a trip to Abu Dhabi
The chance to win this trip was not very big. A lot of contestants from all over Europe could win one of the 4 tickets.
Our company initiated the contest together with one of our vendors.
What was the deal?
Every country had a turnover target on four categories. The best performer of each category wins an all-inclusive trip to the Formula One Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi on 23. to 25.11.2018.
The flight leaves on 22.11.2018 and we would stay four nights at the Abu Dhabi Hilton Hotel before our flight takes us back home on 26.11.2018.

You know what: I will not go!
What I would find there is not my style.
Pure luxury created on values that I do not tolerate.
There would also be a big chance for me to be imprisoned. The chance my words would be judged as disrespectful is very high. Respect needs to be elaborated and can not be inherited.
Knowing from the very beginning that we would have a chance to win a trip I asked my manager if he would like to go.
He said he would be happy to go but it would be my prize and I should go.
I also think it's totally insane to sit in a plane for 13 hours (6.5 hours one way if you have a direct flight) to watch cars riding some hundred times the same round.
Additionally, the whole trip is a waste of money in my opinion.
I can imagine what this trip will be like
- You arrive at the airport and will be picked up by a car that brings you to the hotel.
- Totally exhausted you will have some food and perhaps a drink before you go to sleep.
- The next days you will be picked up to go to the Grand Prix and watch the training.
- Totally exhausted you will have some food and perhaps a drink before you go to sleep.
- The next days you will be picked up to go to the Grand Prix and watch the qualification.
- Totally exhausted you will have some food and perhaps a drink before you go to sleep.
- The next days you will be picked up to go to the Grand Prix and watch the race.
- Totally exhausted you will have some food and perhaps a drink before you go to sleep.
- The next day you will be brought to the airport again and fly home again.
- Totally exhausted you will have some food and perhaps a drink before you go to sleep.
- The next day you are expected at work again.
And at work, they will ask you: "Did you have a nice weekend? I heard you went at the Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi - that must have been a fantastic experience!!!"
So, now tell me: am I crazy not going?
What would you do?
Would you go? Perhaps just because it's all-inclusive and will not be as I think?
