I'm going to pronounce Jorge as 'hor-hey' and make Jarge rhyme with large.

My company briefly made us all, employees and management alike, go through Leadership Workshops which were uncannily close to this in tone if not actual language. It was pretty obvious everyone considered it a colossal waste of time. I say briefly because after the first two weeks, they canned the whole endeavor without much comment. My manager was kind enough to tell me during our regular one-on-one status update calls that this was because basically everyone who took the course was bitter about it being such a useless mess. Of course, it wasn't canceled until after I had already done my two mandatory workshops. So in short, I feel pretty called out here.

My employer used to have an on-staff Talent Development Specialist who basically just... did this exclusively. There would be something like this about once a quarter.

I made a game out of turning every time we had to draw something on giant novelty paper pads into a loss edit somehow. I'm real good at spouting convincing bullshit and only one of my coworkers would recognize it, and she thought the training was mostly a waste of time and my drawings were funny.

I loving hate these animals, which just sit there and stare in rapt fascination at the person they're currently with, as if that's the only thing on their mind. No other interests, no fun little things that they do, nothing.

I've never met a single cat or dog with so little personality, and these ones are supposed to be important.
