Three co workers and I traveled to get supervisory training. There were two highlights:
1. The dude who didn't set his cell phone to vibrate. He got a call. His ringtone was "Back in Black" by ACDC. Nice.
2. If you are going to fire someone, do it in the middle of the week, so they won't spend the weekend buying bullets. (Actually it was presented as contacting the lawyer, but I thought this quip was funnier.)
Actually it wasn't horrible. It was just... obvious. I guess that's what happens when you teach empathy to people who might not be naturally empathic. But in a nutshell:
Do unto others as they would have them do unto you.
Pass on as much information as possible and do it face to face.
The obvious might not be so obvious. (I guess this includes the training too.)
Follow your HR policies.
And yet afterwards, I got a headache (rare for me) and I wanted a nap.
tiring being trained on the obvious
