Tim: “wassup bitch, want to fuck?”
Trainer: Can anyone tell what Tim did wrong here?
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.
There are good training videos, like these soldering lessons:

Or the infamous forklift driver Klaus:
The only good one I’ve seen is the Krusty Krab Training Video.
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”.
