I get paid to work, nothing less, nothing more

So you clock out for bathroom breaks?

You sound very idealistic, and I appreciate that. We all have to choose our values and where and how we apply them many times every day. We pick the hills we want to die on and one of mine is not "state-mandated paid training seminar." I feel your frustration and hope that we can find more productive ways to encourage people to be less shitty to each other. You're right - you shouldn't have to pay with your time for what some other bad actor did, especially when you know that your values would never allow you to behave in the manner of that bad actor.

So yes I was being sarcastic but I didn't mean it as an attack. While you may call it licking boots, I feel it is just learning to navigate the realities of our society. Thank you for taking the time to respond and make me consider this more.
