   Doing some mandatory training for $EMPLOYER today. The first course already seems like an all day thing, but that's just because it is BORING.

     3rd course. There's supposed to be 8 hours of coursework. I don't know if I'm going to make it. $EMPLOYER's mandatory courses are so dry and uninteresting ... and often devoid of any real value except as "you took the course, so you knew better, now we can punish you".

     Next course is an EEO course. If they just talked about it in general terms and said whom to contact in case of any issues, it would be good. But they say "the Blah Blah act of 1867 requires these specific things" and then test you on whether you remember the specific law that requires something.
     
     That's idiotic. I need to know the requirements and how to comply ... put all that extra stuff in an optional "for further information" page.

     Just finished course 7 out of 8. When I'm finished, I'll send in all the completion certificates and request that today be a paid training day.

     @lnxw48a1 That was rough. It took me 11 hours (including breaks) to complete 8 hours of course time.

     And they approved payment for the time. It isn't much, but it is something.
