Received this beauty in my work inbox today. Nope, not spam. Went to all new students, and select administration.

    I don’t get why this is infuriating? Any job that you take is going to have you take the same training about diversity, sexual harassment, etc. I don’t see anything in the email saying that this training is going to cost you anything extra.

    Are you just pissed off that there’s so many grammar and spelling mistakes in an email sent from a university? They probably used AI to write it or it was written by the outsourced vendor that provides the training materials.

      AI would write better, with no weird spelling errors, this is human slop. But honestly, who cares, you can skim it and get the point.

      It is? I have never had to take such classes… maybe that’s an American thing?

      I can also see being pissed about my time being wasted, especially if I had paid for being there… which is in itself outrageous.

        Am an American with a (remote) office job, can confirm. Not only do they make you take the classes, they make you retake them every year. I usually don’t mind though because it means I get to chill out and game for a couple hours while I let the videos play on mute.

          Yup it is part of the annual code of conduct training at my work.

          I also had to attend sexual harassment and alcohol abuse lectures as a part of freshman orientation at my university back 20ish years ago. It didn’t cost extra, so I’m not sure what the title is referring to. The title makes it seem like they are infuriated by the required training in general, which really doesn’t make much sense to me.
