lzreid Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Compulsory e-learning courses we have been told to take. I've just done the Diversity course and navigating through the tutorial was a nightmare and it bloody well cheated.I got asked to identify the core elements of equality & diversity as promoted within the Home Office, out of a choice of 6 options. I knew five were correct and one was not, so I selected the five rights answers and pressed the 'submit' icon. Back it comes with 'Sorry, that's not quite right' and has deleted one of my answers. YES IT IS FUCKING CORRECT, YOU CHEATING b*****d - I WAS AN EQUALITY & DIVERSITY ADVISER FOR THREE FUCKING YEARS AND KNOW THIS STUFF BACKWARDS.........AAAAAAAGGGGGHH! * *Smashes head off the keyboard in frustration* Is this as pretentious and wanky as it sounds? I'm 32% convinced that the line 'be nice or yer getting sacked' would work just as well as half of these courses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Is this as pretentious and wanky as it sounds?I'm 32% convinced that the line 'be nice or yer getting sacked' would work just as well as half of these courses. I see your point to some extent but being a Civil servant working with the public we've got to get it spot on, particularly when disgruntled punters who don't like our decisions make spurious accusations of harrasment/racism etc which automatically have to been investigated by management. I'm fully committed to Equality & Diversity, it's just having to go through the course when I know it already through my experience and qualifications and the online training package being so utterly cack and cumbersome to work on. I still have 'Keeping Minor's Safe' and 'Information Management Parts 1 & 2' to complete before the end of April. I am not the only one in the office screaming in frustration at having to do this pish! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Raith Rovers fans aged 24 and above seem to suffer from long standing (no pun intended) leg problems. 4 years, 1 month and 15 days and I'm fucked too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 A reindeer? You are wrong, it would infact be a Moose i would have to saddle up. Do you not get reindeer in Sweden or are they just confined to Lappland? I could walk....but i am lazy. I commend your honesty! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a clue, i live as far south as you can get so i doubt there will be much reindeer around here. Thank you. Why do everything when there is someone who will do it for you, is what i always say 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not the only one in the office screaming in frustration at having to do this pish! Oh I agree with it all entirely as well. I'm the biggest and most inclusive hippy you'll ever meet but a lot of it seems to be needlesly verbose and an utter waste of your time.

Guest The Phoenix Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I think you should be looking at a career change. All you seem to do is moan about your job. If that were the sole criteria, every government office would install revolving doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toma_BullyWee Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Went out to buy shoes, trousers and a shirt for a christening on Sunday. "Size 13? Nae chance!" was the general reply as i shopped for shoes. I eventually found myself a large pair of size 12's that don't hurt me too much. Still need to find myself trousers and a shirt, but I'll do that another day. I tried on a pair of 36's in Topman.. They didn't fit. I've somehow managed to put on weight while watching my diet and exercising semi regularly. Of course, I'll just blame it on the "skinny fit" trousers, even though I tried regular fit. The should have Fat Fit trousers. They'd be lovely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS We're all bouncing around trying to look smart and busy because I've just been told Jacqui Smith (Home Secretary) is visiting us this morning - special armed bodyguards floating about the office, Special Branch, armed uniformed cops all buzzing about - I wish I'd taken today off instead of tomorrow! BTW I have my SNP sticker on prominent display just because I can! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do not ask any questions relating to Porn films or the cost of plugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
