I missed one on our last round due to answering 'under no circumstances' to the question 'when is it appropriate for a supervisor to compliment a subordinate's clothing''

Lol. The one I missed was "What are the business implications and losses associated with workplace harassment?" Two of the plausible answers were "missed work/absenteeism" or "loss of productivity".

I'm letting the videos run now, and apparently it's "loss of productivity"! Glad I know how wrong I was.

There's a big difference between saying something like:

"I like the pattern of that shirt"

And:

"You look good in that shirt"

Or even worse:

"You fill that shirt out nicely"

The first is a remark about the item which is fine. The second and third are you remarking on the person's appearance which is bad.

J&J had a corporate training (one of those "don't steal or give away our secrets" sorts of trainings) where they had the question posed as a thermometer with a 0-10 scale and the question vaguely worded as an "It's OK to do __________, how strongly do you agree?"

They could've made it a true/false, because 1 through 9 were never the right answer and the computer was grading it as a test. "How strongly do you agree that corporate trade secrets are an important part of our culture and define our future as an organization?" "7." "Sorry, the answer was 10."

That sort of thing.

Several of the question have been this type of missing the forest for the trees type stuff, with reasonably correct but wholly inadequate answers. It's like someone just randomly scrubbed through the videos and picked the thing they just said and wrote a question around that with no real understanding of the context or content.

It's just amazing how poorly made most of these "trainings" are.

And let's be serious......not a single person has ever changed their mind nor behavior because of any of these mandatory trainings. They are 100% checkbox items.

And the Lord said, "Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
Upper management let the contract run out on our training system without securing a replacement, so now all training is "read this PDF/PPT and check a box saying you did so." This is one area where budget cuts are a good thing.

I've had to do Anti Money Laundering training before and over half of the questions on the final test took the form of "What year was [specific law/regulation] passed" or "What specific law/regulation was passed in [year]". You know. Questions that are absolutely useless for determining whether people have learned how to recognize suspicious behavior, and therefore actually do anything to help prevent money laundering, but are fine for ticking the "Your company must implement an AML training program and apply it annually" regulatory checkbox.

Working at a financial institution I have like 25-30 compliance training courses I have to take every year. Thankfully they started letting us test out of them.

I’m an IT guy but I guess it’s very important I know about terrorist financing and money laundering.

It kinda is as people like to get around those regulations and the idea is at whatever level you should recognize whats going on.

I had a customer service rep ask me, in Slack, if I would be able to help because a sales guy asked to setup a VPN for a client in Syria (which is country you cannot do business with/in due to executive order). I had to tell the service dude that, no, I did not feel like breaking federal law today and that could they please refrain from asking me somewhere like Slack where everything is written down and subject to a subpeona?

(Also, I am not loving setting up a private VPN for a client, what software company is doing that??)

Aww, the director of our department has a heart after all.

Me: "Hey, we have a 9AM 1-on-1 tomorrow. Is that in-person or on phone?"
Director: "I guess depends. Are you on site?"
Me: "Yes, but what time depends on this meeting. If you want 9AM in-person, I catch the 6:30 bus to be there on time. If you don't, I call you from the 9AM bus."
Director: "Why not catch something in between those?"
Me: "There aren't any. 5:50, 6:30, 9:00. That's all that exists on my line."
Director: "How long would you be at work before the meeting on that 6:30?"
Me: "It'd get me there 7:15ish."
Director: "That is ridiculous. Call me from the bus. What a rubbish bus route."

My favorite was the "Know Your Customer" course that's clearly intended for tellers because it's all about recognizing patterns in how the customer deposits money or transfers money to others.

Meanwhile I was in loss forecasting that has absolutely nothing to do with deposits or transfers and is about as far away from customers as you can get.

Now my favorite is the "Workplace Violence" course that tells you to hide if your coworker's estranged husband comes to the office with a gun. Really makes me glad to be back in the office.

I hope he ended up fired/blacklisted like a visiting vendor technician did at our site after he commented to one of our male operators that the only time [female engineer on my team] should open her mouth is to put a dick in it. We kicked him off company property instantly, informed his manager, and told our biz rep with them that unless they wanted to lose our entire contract, the dude never gets sent to our site again.

(Alternative acceptable answer: He turns around to walk away and she leaves a nasty scar on his back because she's actually a werewolf. I'd accept that too.)

I get to do them too and none of my customers even handle cash I don’t think? The bulk of them are getting like 5-7 figure wires or ACHs.

The most annoying part of all of these trainings is that the dates/timelines for reporting or doing whatever are just totally arbitrary and random. Some poo poo is like 3 days, some is 90, some is due by a specific day for the whole prior year. I’ve been doing them all for a decade and still have to look up reporting timelines. Meanwhile I’ve never handled (or seen) any actual bank cash, or done a SAR or CTR, and it’s been ~7 years since I’ve dealt with a fraud alert.

Yeah the finance/AML training is a pain because it comes up every year and sometimes has specific rule codes in it that you're just not going to know. We used to make contractors do it as well. Love to burn that day rate in clicking buttons.

And there's *always* an answer that makes no sense, the best was that "no, terrorist financiers do not disguise the source of funds" err yeah pretty sure they do?

Also the examples that all assume you get phoned up by randos saying it's very important to "transfer this money to Russia but don't tell anyone and make it look like it was someone else, is this suspicious y/n?"

Anyway, did someone say compliance training????
