junkets

A junket is a trip or excursion that's often expensive and not very useful.

When people talk about a company sending employees on a junket, they usually mean a vacation that costs the business a lot of money. This might sound fun for the employees, but in reality, it's often seen as a way to reward them for doing their job well or as a form of stress relief. Some companies use junkets as team-building exercises, where everyone goes on a trip together to get to know each other better. However, others see these trips as an unnecessary expense that takes employees away from work too long.
