I swear, these workplace "training" programmes seem to be so incredibly out of touch sometimes. We also had one of these trainings and while the goal is of course very noble, it really just had the opposite effect. The examples were so silly that people just laughed at it and made fun of the whole thing, which made the workplace less welcoming instead of more.

It's all for compliance so your employer can wash their hands of you if you fuck up and make an inappropriate joke to the wrong person. "you received annual sexual harassment prevention training, this is on you."

It is a good general threat for when you're not sure what you're up to yet.

I am going to follow through with these intentions today, tomorrow, or some time in the near or distant future.

It bugs me they go in reverse order of specificity and threat level.

  • Death
  • Battery
  • Anti-thoughts-and-prayers

Lol i love it. Sounds like my kind of work place. I have to really hold back the laughter on our annual training because the situations and actors/actresses are so funny.

We do video training on our computers where we watch little scenarios on video clips.
