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

This corporate stuff just baffles me.
Never having worked in an office with more than 50 people, I have no concept of any of this thinking.
My training for operating within the environment I work in adds up to precisely zero.
The idea of a corporate document telling me to eat vegetables, or a day out learning how to climb a ladder is amusing, if not bizarre.

Surely that'll just say "Don't push them down the stairs, no matter how funny it may be!"

When I worked in construction,
a verbal warning would consist of,"Don't fucking do it again,twat". Harsh, but fair.

There's a bit of a health drive
in my place of work, but I thinks it's justifiable since
a) we're the NHS
and
b) the office is full of people who would fall foul of the BMI/smoking restrictions that we enforce upon the rest of the population.
Quite why they think complimentary broccoli is the answer, is beyond me.

It is banned under

Fucking broccoli.

I happen to like veg and love sprouts.
In fact, I used to suffer from vegetarianism, and its more serious condition, veganism. It's just I object to being told to eat it. If I want to live on doners, vodka and Curly-Wurlys, I will, and die fat and happy, in 6 months.
