He was considerate enough to ask the co-worker if she was well and asked for explicit content before engaging in sexual activities with her. Looks fine to me.
I had a training video once that had some pretty hilarious examples. In it the guy just said "Sleep with me or you're fired."
My absolute favorite though was one where an Asian guy is trying to recruit coworkers for his basketball game and says, to the black guy, "Hey Jamal, you've got leaps." A++ writing, highly recommended.
I see nothing wrong with example #2 if Jamaal's got hops. Am I in the wrong?
If I recall correctly, it was the first time the two characters had met and they were assuming Jamal had leaps because he was black.
Tim was an absolute gent. A classy motherfucker, even
sometimes the complaints will be false
A recent one I watched started with 10minutes bad, fake reality TV scenes of an employee stealing from his company. It was hilarious and fun. I also appreciated the exact details about how he stole money. I did get confused however when 250k apparently got him a house, a ship and a new car.
The one that prompted me to post this was a very thinly veiled attempt at saying that higher ups make mistakes unknowingly and that inherent biases aren't a thing. The bitch boss in the video should be fired for discrimination, instead at the end she gives a lecture about how she appreciates the employees' response and how she didn't think what she did could be perceived as discriminatory.
Nothing like a good ol 'thank you' and maybe a pizza for busting your ass and working OT /s
I work from home incorporate IT but I still have to do training on how to pick up heavy boxes.
Even when I was in the office the heaviest thing I tended to pick up was a toner cartridge.
IT is definitely a job that has to know how to pick up heavy objects. I have a friend who was working as a consultant configuring corporate telephony systems. One time, he showed up to an install that was running a bit behind schedule. He stepped in to help finish the server room set up and ended up permanently damaging his back.
Unless you're working in a DC or service desk you ain't lifting shit in most tech jobs.
It's a crazy vast field. Due to the uptake of the cloud this is becoming way less common.
Are you in the EU?
I'm pretty sure the company is US based
What. How do you not know what country your contract was signed in?
Companies have to follow employment law in the country you're in. But American companies often have to do local stuff like training videos as well.
Yeah, I worked for an American company in Europe, but I asked because at least the labor laws in my country required they showed me box lifting training too.
I just want you to know that those of us who make these things for a living hate them too. By the time the stakeholders gets done with their "input" all the cool shit we wanted to do to make them tolerable and maybe even fun is out the window.
There’s a certain level of cheese that makes it entertaining. Some of the actors who play up bad behavior are hilarious.
The problem with training videos is that the people making them have no idea what they're doing. I feel like training videos are very helpful but they're very boring and if companies would actually make them enjoyable and entertaining to wash people might learn something from them. But when you have a bunch of suits that have never actually worked anywhere in their life make these things. This is what happens.
Counterpoint: I prefer straightforward no-fuss training. My employer tries to make their corporate training interactive and fun but it doubles the time to complete them. A 45 minute training could've been cut down to 20 minutes if they removed all the fancy animations, videos, and "games".
I think it often comes down to learning styles. It really sucks because there is no one size fits all. I think most "trainings" would actually be better served as a long email that I can also reference later as needed, but I also struggle to focus in meeting and such. Other people are better at focusing in the moment and would never read a long email in the first place.
I'm convinced that big corporations contract it out to the cheapest "production" company that they can find, and they only offer the training so that they can say that they did to shield themselves from potential liability.
I have skipped through every single mandatory interactive training thing I've ever been assigned and passed the quiz at the end using basic common sense. Every time.
I swear it only exists for the bottom 1% of the workforce who are, in this day and age, are somehow dumb enough to still fall for email scams that have been around for longer than I have.

There are good training videos, like these soldering lessons:

Or the infamous forklift driver Klaus:

Don't like these either, but it's a nice break from being on my feet all day.
So much bitching and whining for an hour of easy pay.
The only good one I've seen is the Krusty Krab Training Video.
The anti-union videos are pure propaganda and should be illegal.
Though, some training videos are good actually. Two examples:

Surprised to see this on a forum like lemmy considering the average techni al level of the average user here.
Just ask ChatGPT what you can do to trick your browser into manipulating the speed of that playback. Or more.
There was one years ago I had where all you needed was to type course.pass(true) into the console.
Yeah, these I had one where I found a stored variable indicating whether the current video had been successfully completed lol.
The most recent I found had a TON of obfuscation to make it more difficult. There were checks making sure the video didn't finish in less time than the duration of the video, and another that checked to see if your account was logged in with more than one browser, and wouldn't play videos until you closed them all.
Was still able to change the duration variable to be '.1*(videoLength)' and set the multiple instance variable to false so I could blow through them all at like 10x speed simultaneously, but they made me work for it. All of this stuff was buried in tons of what I assume was nonsense code.
