    Its some kind of American exceptionalism thing we're too normal to understand.

    Training courses are during business hours or nobody would show up to them in Australia (and I'm guessing its the same in the UK from your username).

    So shafted by their work culture they don't even question the meme..

    It is sad but true. I am USAian, and it is a constant battle with co-workers to get them to stand up even a little against dumb mandates. It’s especially frustrating because EVERY DAMN TIME we do push back, management backs down. You’d think they would see the pattern..

    A few years ago we were discussing how some companies were trying 4-day weeks and someone said that they'd like to try four 10-hour days instead of five 8-hour.

    They could not imagine that it meant working fewer hours.

    Yeah, there's billions, maybe trillions or beyond, of dollars' worth of investment put into making sure everyone "Really needs this job." which can be ripped away from them in an instant, so they won't be inclined to risk any "insubordination."

    bringing back souvenirs for their colleagues and bosses when they go on holiday somewhere :/

    Damn, I used to do that for some coworkers because we were actually friends. I cannot imagine how shitty it would feel to be forced to do that.

    I wonder how far you could stretch it. Get them all (if you're coming to america, for instance) those little plastic acorns with a little item in it from those coin machines that used to be by every convenience store's doors. Though I haven't seen any of those in ages, so maybe not.

    Upper management - make sure everyone is in for 9 for training

    middle management - fuck better make sure everyone is there, everyone in at 8 for training,

    lowest manger - shit there is no way user will be in at 8, shit bag user be in at 7 for mandatory training!

    is anyone actually awake at 7?

    It's not until nine or even ten, and several pots of coffee that my mind is ready to absorb training information. Anything before 9, and I'm not awake enough to filter the rank sarcasm concerning the terrible AI training slides.
