So you’re not supposed to wrap a sledgehammer in a towel and knock the valves off the O2 while watching them fly off the docks like torpedos. Got it “Fire in the hole”

Ever See how far a metal Garbage can will fly with filled with acetylene.. 💥

No. But they said nothing of launching them from the bed of a pickup truck so you can apparently do that

Almost missed my TRBO comment a day! Day 3!

I have to do electrical safety training once a year. It's the same two similar courses back to back every year and that take several hours each.
At this point I just have notes written that I pull out to answer the questions.

I can't find any online videos from my company. But it's trust mineral training.

I'll record one next go around for the laughs.

But it's essentially poorly animated videos of either garys mod models, or maybe windows media maker models. And the dumb stuff the employees do in the videos is even funnier.

Giving me flashbacks of all the point-n-click training that TSA/DHS required. About half a day, every day, for however long it was until the next wave of offsite training. Offsite training was 2 weeks of classes. After that, 30 days of active checkpoint training with a designated mentor back at your home airport. THEN the endless & random volunteer fake passengers & test bags sent through by the internal compliance dept (i forget the actual name).

Ive been in maintenance at the same plant for 16 years…I have this stuff every week. My favorite is our ccp(critical control point) training, the last slide actually states that we have “no ccp’s” in our plant.

At my last job, there was an older guy who was very computer illiterate.

They changed our manual punch clock to being web-based, so he had to use the computer every day.

Whenever they sent out the fake phishing emails, we always encouraged him to click on them so he had to redo the course, it kind of became a monthly tradition to watch him flip out that we tricked him again. The day he had to do the video we get donuts and just yapped through the whole thing with him. Good times

This is kinda cruel, but also a little funny. It would feel less cruel if you didn't encourage him to take the bait, and then also distract him while he was doing the training.

That sounds like a free break to me. You and friends all click on link, when group training comes up bring munchies and hang out for a half day.

I've sat for the last 3 days trying to get some bullshit German CAD software installed for a client because without it their business can't function. This is the most mundane, yet insane things I've done in my nearly a decade in IT. So much so I've contemplated driving my car into a wall just so I don't have to keep working at this.

There was an incident at the company I work for a while before I got here. Long story short…people didn’t understand how dangerous bottled %100 O2 is.

How does anyone working in industry not know this?

Everyone who was in my metal shop in 1988 knows how dangerous %100 O2 is as do all skilled welders.

Everyone who’s ever been of fan of NASA and its history knows how dangerous %100 O2 is.

What happened? Did we out sophisticate ourselves as a nation? A generation of bankers and real estate ladies begat a generation of bit coin miners and now we’re screwed?

What happened is there's a knowledge gap. Nobody informed them. That's not something inherently learned, it's taught.

This is a cultural problem, not an educational one. The nation, overall, didn’t value this once-common knowledge, now it’s gone…or obscure, or transplanted elsewhere. You can’t solve the issue by simply informing people of things, they have to be, in the first place, thinking people with more curiosity than credulity. People who act based on confidence earned via understanding instead of blind belief are less dangerous to themselves.

Osha? That's that new sushi place that just opened right?

I think it has more to do with the bombardment of information and the easy access to it. So the part of your brain that reminds you not to do dumb shit is overwhelmed with TicToc memes and the dopamine addiction. There is a lot less thinking going on.

I got to sit through my yearly video that spent 2hrs explaining to me about how Im inherently racist but not aware of it because of my race and gender. 🤔

2hrs and I’m still confused.

The scenarios are super cringe worthy.

I was an instructor in the electric utility business for 20 years. Originally all our instruction was all in person. You would attend the course, get the materials, and then do the presentation and testing. On some, I got to make the courses plant specific, so I could have fun with it. I did a DOT Hazmat course and I put in a picture of a bunker buster bomb with a DOT explosive sticker on it. Like you couldn't tell it was a bomb.
All that mandated training was replaced by corporate CBT training which was designed to crush your soul.

[BretG]

And another thing. The mandated courses became so important that the supervisor's yearly bonus was tried to his direct reports. If the courses were not completed by the expiration date, the supervisor was put to account. This resulted in people being called to work on overtime to do the courses before the deadline.
