Did you read the documents from the post? Being forced to chant/repeat/internalize anything isn't a conversation.

"Forced." Sigh, come on. Corny team-building things in big corporate spaces happen all the time. It's part of the whole deal. Most of these dudes are going to laugh over the corny thing they had to do at work today like happens all the time. I'm fine if people don't think it's effective, but what's going to happen is a bunch of people are going to get triggered and then entirely overestimate the possibility that this will be dangerous. It's not, no more than any of the other corporate team stuff that people do.

  Fair enough, I agree w/ most of that. > I'm fine if people don't think it's effective, but what's going to happen is a bunch of people are going to get triggered and then entirely overestimate the possibility that this will be dangerous. This will definitely happen, more divisiveness = more clicks.

  You obviously haven't lived a single of these "trainings". Once they are in place, it's part of a broader culture. People receiving these mandatory trainings are afraid. During the training, they comply, and look at each other. After the training, they are still afraid. They know it's part of a general strategy to prey on the scape goats, so if any of them "laugh" about the "training", he risks being reported or complained about by another employee, even outside of working place and working hours, because mandatory Reporting of any Deviance under penalty of job termination is also Part of the Training ! But hey, I get it, as long as "others" have to suffer it, you don't care.

It's funny that you treat the tweet author as a reliable source of information about how the program was conducted.
