Don't know the answer? Here's a surprise...neither do I.
My entire work history has been spent either working at small firms or in the Navy, so I don't have a lot of experience with large firms or corporations. So, I'm throwing this question out to everyone who reads this:
When someone at your workplace gets a DUI (or DWI, depending on where you live) or gets in an accident due to drinking, is there training for every person at the workplace?
Or are DUI and accidents from drinking just not that common?
Someone on base got into an accident from drinking last weekend. This is not an uncommon occurrence. Yet, EVERY SINGLE TIME, something like this happens, everybody has to go to another hour or two hours of training on not drinking or not drinking and driving. Yet once again, this training is taking place on my husband's day off- so he has to go into work to get lectured for two hours. Even though he has never had a DUI and certainly doesn't drive drunk.
When I was in the Navy, they did this same thing to us students. I mean, the training was so common that we used to count how many times they said certain words during the training....one person would pick "DUI", another "alcohol", another "tragedy".....whoever ever got the most points won.
Clearly, this training isn't doing any good.
And it is wasting time, not only of the sailors, but of the people giving the training.
And it's wasting money.
Okay, everyone, repeat after me: Don't Drink & Drive. Spend Taxpayer Dollars to repeat this 100 more times.
