This is a question Training courses, seminars and conferences

Inspirational or a waste of precious slacking-off time? I once went on a buzzword bingo-laden training course which ended up with my being held at gunpoint in public. Could have gone better, to be honest. Tell us your tales from either side of the lectern

Apply Yourself!
Dear Mr DWF,

If your company is passing a constant stream of ignorant knobheads on double pay past you for comprehensive training, then they are clearly suffering from a shortage of good candidates, so will be prepared to take anyone on. So why don't you just nip round to the Human Resources office, remind them of all the skills you have (you must have some, or they would not have put you in charge of training). In a rational world they'd bite your hand off to hire someone of your experience and skillset

The trouble is big corporations aren't always logical. Or maybe you don't have a clean driving license and normal set of social skills they'd feel comfortable unleashing on a customer. Or maybe you are the only one there who can drive the effing forklift, and they are too snobby to see that as a useful skill. I'd bet on the latter. Get your application in!

But don't come back to B3ta in 3 months time whinging that you took one of those jobs on double pay, and now you have to drive up and down the country at all hours god gives, far from the coziness and ease of the good 'ol warehouse

That, or he's an insufferable prick with such an overinflated sense of his own worth and ridiculous sense of entitlement that they send the n00bs down to in order to say 'don't listen and you'll end up like that prick'.
