So one of my annoyances at work is the mandatory "training" I have to do for compliance/legal/CYA reasons, which amount to wasting 20 minutes of my life with "are you an idiot?" type questions on, say, bribing foreign government officials.
I put those off as long as possible until the nag emails start escalating.
And now you want me to do a weekly survey on whether or not I'm happy?
Other posters have brought this up. What about privacy? How do I know my answers will be anonymous? The company is (assumedly) paying for this. They're the customer. Do I really think they're not going to get this information if they want it?
Annoyingly, if I have to do this, you've now made me think of all these issues. There is a cognitive cost with doing so.
What possible reward/benefit is there for being honest? No, no, "I love the Leader!"
- mkagenius 11y agoI wouldn't be happy even if they ask for a survey bi-weekly. Maybe monthly too would be pretty boring. There should be other way to do this, this definitely doesn't work for me.
- kabdib 11y agoMicrosoft does this. They don't care about passing grades, they just care that you've been exposed to the content. It was pretty easy to crank up the "training" on a spare computer. Then just reach over and click something random every once in a while and (poof!) you were done. I have no memory of most of the videos except that they usually portrayed idjits in sitcom-like skits ("Susan, do you think it's against our corporate ethics to steal this truck of PCs from the loading dock and sell them in a supermarket parking lot so we can buy more drugs for the team that's writing the malware that we sell protection services for? Whaddya think?")
