I have a corporate “fun afternoon” tomorrow. On Friday the 13th. The weather forecast is “stormy”. Attendance is mandatory. We have been advised to bring a change of clothing and wellington boots.
HELP ME.

Are you kidding me? That’s insane and a huge corporate liability. OSHA???
Critical server maintenance

Accidentally “break” the servers by flipping the main breaker a few minutes before you are about to go.
The UPS will hold until they all leave, then just sit in the server room.

Mandatory fun sounds like an oxymoron to me.
Get a doctors note that says you aren’t allowed to have too much fun do to a medical condition and you need to maintain an appropriate level of misery at your job.

Doesn’t sound so “fun” to me.
“Break” your Exchange server… that should occupy a few hours.

Call it confidence testing.
So can you sue them for false advertising if the fun day isn’t fun as they made you come during inclement weather?

Tell them that you need to do some critical server maintenance, and with everybody gone it’s the perfect time to do it.

Seeing as I work in a school I’d bring in a letter from my Mom excusing me from the activities!
Not a great help for you though.
Fake your own suicide?

show up in a speedo and giant yellow glasses like in that LMFAO video. act crazy and tell them you have been looking forward to the fun all year. then act like a complete ass all day, just don’t do anything that might get you fired. talk loudly, tell pointless jokes and squeal way too much when they announce something. they will not get you out this years, but i bet they “forget” to tell you about it next year.

Resign.
And then withdraw it on Monday Citing an “emotional issue” as the cause of your instability on Friday 13th…

So many options here… as simple as pulling a few cords temporarily, power or network. You could disable a handful of people in AD and/or exchange. Shut the phones down, auto-forward everyones emails to a handful of people.
I guess it depends on how big your IT dept is. If someone else sees what you did, no bueno, but if you are flying solo, like me, the sky is the limit, and you already know what to fix, cause you did it!!
Tell them you have severe chaffing
