They had to do it because audits, no one want to be here, not even the trainers.

They’re playing the standard PowerPoint bullshit, but it’s full of videos of pop culture television. Can’t hear it, makes no sense to me since I have not had a television for 30 years.

I guess it’s just free donuts.

Been years for me, and then it was only rayciss and misogynistic topics. I imagine today it includes pronoun and gender shit as well. You'll know it's time to stick a fork in it when they include a separate section on jews. Let's hope it never comes to that...

Depends on the org and the requirements (I can only speak to federal reqs), but the kool-aid I was referring to - I had to take screenshots and send them to my wife. My reaction was at first 'oh fuck, I made a huge mistake accepting the offer' and my secondary reaction was 10-days later when I sent in my resignation.

It was chalk-full-o: dei shit, trans rights, pronouns, and hr actionable complaints. Fuck a bunch of that noise

Good for you! I did this back in '98 - because the company lied to me and turned out to be really shitty. I was married with 3 young kids then, so it was a huge deal for us. It amazes me how many people will stay in shitty jobs they hate and that compromise their values because they feel they have no choice. Financials and benefits are important, but should fall way down the list relative to your mental and spiritual health. Really liking your job is huge too, but having one you can at least tolerate seems to be the criteria today.

Hear-hear.

I have adopted the ethos: 'I need a job, but I don't need this job.'

In all honesty, it is a double-edged sword, but if I cannot respect the org, I have no business being there

We do all that sort of training on our own. We're assigned 'classes' to take and we attend virtually.

Pro: You can fast forward to the end of the videos and still pass the quizzes with ease. Con: No free donuts and coffee.

Elite pro: let the video play at normal speed unattended in the background (mute it) so if they monitor how long you played the video you are covered.. Type the question and all multiple choice answers into Grok (on another computer or phone not on the conpany network) and let it justify why an answer is correct. If it sounds right, choose that answer. If not, ask Grok "but what about" and have it defend the answer again. 100%

Ours doesn't allow fast forward, but it does allow mute...

My previous employer didn't allow for fast forwarding either. Mute was the only way to make the classes palatable.

Booz-Allen had by far, the most kool-aidy HR training. It was pretty bad, and not even a fucking donut.

AT&t had that kind of crap too. Boooooring.

Do they have free coffee too?

Company has free coffee every day. I don't drink coffee.

Avoid the GMO monocropped fortified wheat, refined sugar, seed oil fried "free" donuts! They are there to make you soft, squishy, pliable, and leave you in an alpha brain wave state and open to the power of suggestion. Down right toxic when coupled with HR diversity as strength propaganda.

I can't hear, so whatever they're saying is literally falling on deaf ears.

Free donuts? I could stare at the wall and space out for an hour for some free donuts. Bonus points for coffee too.

Yep, donuts and coffee.

Hey, you gave me my 9000th point and made my name red. Neat.

At least they allow us to do our yearly HR training virtually.

The donuts are a trap. They were fried in soy bean oil and the frosting is made from crushed prozac. You have been warned.

Also the coffee is mostly cockroaches. Eat the bugs goy.

Jelly or Creme filled? Mmmm! I miss that part of corporate life. The BS presentations, not so much.

Free donuts? The absolute luxury. I just get a (several) reminder email to do it by X date or I'm fired. So I have to let my other real tasks pile up while I take whatever bullshit course HR had a free coupon for in the online training portal.
