Bah! I defy anyone to prove to me that these stupid corporate compliance programs serve any purpose other than creating work for some jack-ass that had nothing better to do and giving the company another bullet point to stick on there "oh, look what we've done" bull$hit metrics...
Every year we have to do these stupid things, generally the same ones each time...they're pathetically dry, although they are supposed to be designed to be hip and urban. The quickest way thru them is to skip to the questions and answer them til you get a pass. Some genius decided that wasn't good enough, there was no way to determine that the person using the tool was ACTUALLY reading the material, so now you can't advance thru the material until you've accomplished some sort of verification to show you actually looked at each page...blah, blah, blah
You know what I do? I click the crap out of my mouse til I get thru it. I defiantly refuse to read thru ANY of it...Stick it to the MAN!
Then, to make things worse, they publish the required modules in the spring and give you until the end of summer to complete them, only then the site publishes the requirements and then says you have to finish them by the end of the week!
WTF?
And don't get me started on confidential surveys...they are supposed to be confidential and they are supposed to be optional, so how come my boss has asked me 4 times over the last 2 days if I've finished it or not? Why is the front office tracking who's completed it and who hasn't? Why are they now issuing edicts that we MUST be 100% compliant by the end of the week?
Jackasses! They've got too little to do, then on top of it, they expect us to drop everything to do these things...
WTF?
It is simply the corporation insuring that when they decide to fire you, they have "evidence" and "documentation" to defend their actions. There is actually no belief that you will glean something from it. It is all about what they get from it.
ReplyDeleteSilly rabbit...
And there is no such thing as confidential. There are probably cameras in the restrooms....
