Dear So and So - Guest appearance by Hubby

Dear So and So...


Dear Training Meetings,

Why do you suck to much?  I mean really, you take time away from my family and friends just so we can learn things we already know.  When you walk into these trainings you sit down and wait for everyone to show up.  After an hour of sitting there and introducing everyone you get started on the actual power point presentation.  Someone tell me why trainers have you read the bullet points word for word on these presentations?  Should you not be able to read them yourself and maybe the trainer has some sort of other input on what the bullet point is trying to make?  (wow this whole blogging to vent thing really works, I feel better already).

For three days i sat in a room with other managers thinking the same thing over and over, "LET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!!"  We get this book that has activities and follows the presentation, while a trainer reviewes the presentation and keeps everyone on track.  I dont understand why we cant just work the questions in the book, have the trainer there to ask questions, and maybe the three day course will take 1 day...


I understand that there were some very good questions asked at this training class, but the trainer is a person we call and have conference calls with on a regular basis.  Give us a reference guide and have us look up our own damn answers.  Everything in the corporate world is black and white anyways, why not give us the guide, let us make our own mistakes, learn from them and move on with our lives.


I am very tired of the retail environment and I am ready to move on from it.  So, training meetings, I would like to throw up a big middle finger to you since you are worthless and pointless...but the paid mileage is good.
