At Target we had The Target Real World, which was supposed to look like episodes of the Real World, with a group of Target employees living in the same house and talking about customer satisfaction and crap like that. I heard that they were so unbelievably bad and pointless that very few stores wasted the time showing them. Sadly I was one of the few who had sat through them.

I cringe every time I hire someone, because I really do regret having to show the training videos I have to show. I honestly just want to film new versions using my staff, and actually have something realistic, but I doubt I could pull it off...Quoth CrazedClerkthe2nd View Post"That's too bad.

Ah, Ames, how I miss thee (though you looked hotter in red, green was so not your color).
I can't remember any of our training videos from Home Depot. They're not terrible, but sooo boring. Wouldn't matter, anyway, I'm more of a "hands on" sort of guy when it comes to training. <_<"IT stands away, interrupting himself from the incessant hammering of the kittens…"Comment

Excerpt from training video teaching employees how to deal with disabled people:
Stupid Worker: (to blind man) What's your dog's name?
Blind Man: (sarky voice) Fang.
When that video was shown to me and a few other people, we all cracked up with laughter at that point. XDComment

The one they showed at my job was really pathetic. In one scene about "inappropriate behavior", it showed a guy wolf-whistling at a female coworker.Quoth JLRodgers View Post

Videos?? Pshaw I say.
My dad has training COMIC BOOKS from when he served during Vietnam. They had hawt, overly busty chicks "teaching" whatever in the books, and as you turn the pages, the girls would be wearing less and less clothing.

You think watching them for training purposes is bad? I had to preview several as part of a group who was picking the new training series. I think the worst of that lot was one called The Invisible Man vs. The Red-Tape Mummy. Sadly, it had the best message--Don't let the paperwork get in the way of getting coworkers equipment that they needed. I wasted about a week on the project, and then they never bought any of them.The Rich keep getting richer because they keep doing what it was that made them rich. Ditto the Poor.
