Companies want these training days to point at something in case they have complaints or lawsuits. Hey we did our best, we spent x amount of money, we sent all our employees to the courses. Companies which provide this 'training' get money for very little, pointless work. Employees just have to sit through the process. I think that is my reading, I don't think anyone involved 'believes' in any of this. (?)

Yeah, checking the compliance boxes, but improving nobody's working conditions.

Yes, it's easy. Pay off this scam company. Both pretend they are helping.

They pretend to care. We pretend to believe them.

But everybody knows it's all make believe. Where are the believers? How does something like this stop?

It's an industry. Government couldn't afford to make more pretend desk-jobs for middle-class, overeducated daughters, so they outsourced IT to private industry with these special compliance positions.

Ha yes the bullshit jobs industry. A bit like the alphabet agencies maybe?

We have UBI, it's just not evenly distributed and it involves sending an email once in a while.

I'd be interested to see how this apparent wave in the 70s of p much the same industry faded away
