Found out we’re doing a mandatory active-shooter training at work. It’ll be “non interactive” which I guess means no fake guns or practice takedowns or whatever they do to scare people. At least one of my coworkers has already expressed adamant opposition to this, so I have at least one ally. I’d be more opposed if I were going to have fake guns pointed at me, but if it’s just sitting in a room listening to someone talk, I don’t mind being paid to listen to their bullshit. Anyway, beyond what I’ve said, I don’t know much about these trainings, so what are some funny ways I could derail it? Don’t hold back
Ask them question whenever the active shooter training intersects with some other corporate rule
“So do I still have to lock my PC if I get up during an active shooter drill”?
“Do I have to clock out when I leave the premises?”
etc.
the more bullshit the underlying rule the better.
and how does this affect scheduled lunch breaks
