The mistake wasn't throwing the burrito, it was interrupting your boss potentially sexually harassing a co-worker; after all, we all know that was just daily routine over at Blizzard.

[Blisterdude]

At Activision-Blizzard, clearly the thing the guy did wrong in the training video was interrupt his boss sexually harrassing female staff.

It's like nothing about this company can still surprise me at this point.

I'm glad Pirate is getting the recognition he deserves, some of the best content on there

Blizzard execs making the employees go through sensitivity training is like Santa being charged with breaking and entering, and then making his elves have to serve his sentence.

There was once a company email, and it had "Best Practices for Using Inclusive Language" here are some examples:
Bad: man-hours Good: Person-hours
Bad: Manned Good: Staffed, crewed
Bad: Mother, father Good: parent
Bad: husband, wife Good: spouse
Bad: Sanity check Good: Check for completeness and clarity
Bad: Pow-wow Good: Chat, conversation, brainstorm
Bad: Cakewalk Good: Easy, cinch
Bad: Dummy Good: placeholder
Bad: Sold down the river Good: Betrayed

We kept calling each other place holders, and threatening to sell each other down the river for 2 months.

I like how the video asks what the employee is doing wrong instead of the boss. Like, the company should be encouraging its employees to throw burritos at their creepy bosses, it'll literally save the company.

Only Blizzard's sensitivity training would have a boss sexually harassing a female employee and say the employee was bad for throwing a burrito rather than the sexual harassment.

[RamadaArtist]

"What did he do wrong?"
He foolishly only bought one burrito. Now he's still hungry.

[Zercul]

Someone commented, "It also trains the employees to recognize the boss hitting on the female employees as normal."

Always ask permission before stealing breastmilk from the break room fridge.

Bobby: "Burrito for thee, not for me."

When I began getting a graduate degree at JHU I had to take an ethics and compliance training module. There was the typical stuff about plagiarism and harassment, like you expect... Going into the training I wanted to conduct an experiment. Every time a scenario was provided where multiple people were involved I only read the answers and picked whichever answer presented the Straightest, Whitest, or male as the perpetrator (person in the wrong). I didn't care to learn about the context of the situation... I received 100% lol

That's how pointless the scenarios were

[blueberrymcphuckerson]

Oh OK. Throwing a burrito at your boss cause he's flirting with the coworker you like *_is way too oddly specific._* This happen once in a video-game company, didn't it. Didn't it. One of those sperglords must have done it and now they have to annually remind people it's no-bueno. I mean, FFS, they use to steal breast-milk from the employee's fridge.

[billlumbergh]

an apprentice told a hvac foreman he needed sensitivity training. kid was laid off two weeks later for lack of work 😂

[mhc]

well you might have noticed that the video DIDNT say that the boss was wrong for hitting on an employee.
so employees learned "dont throw burritos at your boss while he harasses his employee to sleep with him"
but the boss learned "you can do anything you want, including using your position of power over an employee to force that employee to sleep with you"


i wonder what the person leading the training would have said if when they asked "what did he do wrong?" someone replied "he is trying to force an employee to sleep with him while in a position of power over her livelihood"

[zelasd]

Typical corporate BS, had this in my previous position.

[mindcrome]

It was a running joke at my work (both men and women did this) to make the most inappropriate jokes, before these sessions were due directed by HR. (Stupid videos of what he just described.)

We would always say after the joke or comment "It's ok, I haven't had my sensitivity training yet."

Then you where fine.

[moonasha]

I went to school for electrical trade stuff not long ago, and let me tell you, they were forcing "sensitivity training" and all that crap onto the teachers, who were mostly tradesmen with loads of experience. They all hated it, complained about it to us, and my last year two teachers quit because of it

Remember guys, the lesson is: If you make the rules you don't have to follow them.
