minor things that make you fume

I would say in my experience, that 80-90% of in house training courses are largely a complete waste of time. This one today was nearly 2 hours about how to talk to clients ffs. Luckily they didn’t try any role play stuff.

Everytime I go on courses , doesn't matter what course it is, the trainer always has some story to tell , 80% of the time, they are pure gash , ones which you have to clench your jaw to stop yawning . Proper turd. What makes it worse is that they know half of us have to travel back home as we live away , then we get caught in late traffic.

On this one it was all via Skype and you could hear someone repeatedly yawning. Kept knocking the trainer off their stride. Someone started making a coffee as well. I just muted my mic and sat on the couch, staring into the abyss.

People who message a full sentence in bits. It is like a messaging version of somebody going, erm.....you know what......so, there is this thing.....erm..... over there.............erm.........erm........erm......you see I want to ask a question......erm.....erm....

Just write everything in one go and then I can read everything in one go, it is not a difficult thing to do. Instead, you get beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep just to say 'Hi, how are you doing? Do you want me to bring round some food?

My sister does this. And one of my sisters-in-law. And my mate's girlfriend. It appears to be a woman thing.

The funniest experience I had was when the American trainers in our work came over to do a 2 day course on how to speak to customers. You can imagine how interactive and they were really excited only to be met with miserable British folk lol. There was a wheel visual and everything, one part was about going round the wheel and making sure that there was nothing else that the customer wanted. Oh, and there was plenty of role play.

I am not kidding when I say my colleague got 'stuck' on the wheel and he kept on asking a customer if there was anything else and going round the other suggested questions. The customer got fed up and screamed 'Why do you keep asking me the same thing?'. That was the very first call he had after the training. As you can imagine we more or less threw out the 'wheel' in less than 24 hours and did what we had always done (we were already, by far, the best performing team in the company). A complete and utter waste of time.
