Thread: How would you describe 'training' at work?

  1. #1

    How would you describe 'training' at work?

    In a simple sentence or two, what is training? The development of skills to improve how you do your job?

    Asking as I might be kicking up a small fuss about something at work, and want a good clear phrase.

    I'm not certain about this, but shouldn't your parents have potty trained you, shirley it's not up to your workmates to teach you how to wipe your arse.


    Yes, I'm BORED

    training gives you the opportunity to **** things up in a more effective way than when you started with your employer

    An hour away from the real job where you can keep quiet and coast?

    Once you've Been "trained" any feck ups by you is completely your fault whether or not your cock up was covered in the "training"

    A chance to be shown once how to do something then given the opportunity to do it yourself for the first time and get bollocked if you don't get it perfect first time. (Armed forces)

    Training.
    The thing that everybody moans like hell about whenever they have to do it. And moan like feck about if ever they don't get to have any.

    TBF, over training and constantly expecting staff to remember more and more detail is an absolute PITA.

    Don't forget to sign the obligatory, I've been trained register so you can be sacked when you feck up because of inadequate training.

    Depends solely on the company you work for, if in construction, you sign a disclaimer, in other words, **** up and you are gone, as has been said above. That though, is down to shite management, let's face it they couldn't give a shit, as proved above by someone that is self employed but thinks that your workmates shouldn't have to "wipe your arse" I've worked in construction as a gas engineer for a long time. Now however I volunteer, alongside employed people, in a charity helping people, and I tell you what, we have support every step of the way, whether drawing a wage or not.

    In our place of work (an office) we were recently trained on the proper technique to be employed when sitting on a chair. £200 a piece office chairs were bought for the whole office, and they came with a pair of nonces who taught us how to sit down.

    Training should be (as much as possible) interactive but so much of what I have experienced this is limited to doing multiple choice questions on a computer. I remember starting in Subway and asking to make one of the managers a meal but they declined.

    I do remember some very enjoyable Training events back in the day
    Conferences were always better for that kind of malarkey .

    If it's technical training required to do your work, then it's essential.

    If it is
    Quality Management
    Safety at work
    "Managing Diversity"
    Time management
    etc
    It's probably a load of bollocks that stops you doing your job effectively - making you "jump through hoops" just to do what should only take a few minutes.

    Companies don't train employees properly these days, all down to financial cutbacks or lack of organisation.

    It's hardly surprising that customer service is getting worse. You're lucky to even get a 'Thank you' from a spotty faced sales assistant these days.

    if you need training then you arent cut out for the job you signed up for and ought to be sacked straight away.
