Found out we’re doing a mandatory active-shooter training at work. It’ll be “non interactive” which I guess means no fake guns or practice takedowns or whatever they do to scare people. At least one of my coworkers has already expressed adamant opposition to this, so I have at least one ally. I’d be more opposed if I were going to have fake guns pointed at me, but if it’s just sitting in a room listening to someone talk, I don’t mind being paid to listen to their bullshit. Anyway, beyond what I’ve said, I don’t know much about these trainings, so what are some funny ways I could derail it? Don’t hold back
The last time I had to do a workplace violence awareness training, we were given a very long and very specific list of red flags to watch out for. I relentlessly reported to higher ups any time I noticed a red flag from someone higher up than me at the company. I was reprimanded for it every time.

Good work comrade 🫡
I remember once upon a time the higher ups pointedly polled us on how we wished to be rewarded for our work without higher pay being an option and the only non-intrusive answer was having your peers congratulate you. They made this system where you could “shout out” other employees. So I shouted myself out and got reprimanded. I then went on to buy donuts and campaign for shout outs. I offered to do work in exchange for them, bullied my friends into giving them, and went to other departments to network for them. The higher ups did not find it amusing.
Edit: my current work for the CIA has an element of sales to it
