Uggg one of my gigs gave me a nifty 30 minute video to watch online about workplace harassment. I find it so patronizing to assume we need to be trained to be decent human beings. I mean call me crazy but maybe they should just hire people who are decent rather than slobbering assholes who need a 3o minute video to tell them how to not be assholes.

It's nothing to do with the people who run the place, and everything to do with the lawyers for their insurers.
ReplyDeleteWhen the inevitable harassment suit happens, the last thing the insurance lawyers want to hear in a civil deposition is; "Oh no, we never bothered offering anti-harassment training to our people. They all seemed so nice!"
It doesn't matter how dumb the training video is--as long as no one can claim that training was not provided, the insurers have a certain level of protection from a big monetary award against them.
