    Most pointless course.

    I have two in a row.

    Last week I was on a Conflict Management course. Great at telling us how to spot conflict, but beggar all on managing it.

    Next week I am sent on a course with the aim of staying positive and enthusiastic.

    What have you had the misfortune to have to endure?

      I once attended an internally provided course that involved learning how to sit on a chair. I was a contractor too. I have since forgotten how to sit on chairs.

          Where the problem team members didn't bother to turn up

              Influencing and persuasion.
              The only good thing about it was that the tutor looked like Kylie Minogue and was a psycho.

                    I've had that one. It also involved door opening.

                    Then there was the introduction to the new door security mechanism, then another one when a revolving door was put on the building. Then there was the one when the telephone handsets were changed. It's a wonder I ever get any work done, oh hang on...
