Sensitivity Training - Episode 607
18 August 2008 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This is show 607 - Sensitivity Training... This is a very good episode if you work for a typical U.S. company. The point of this training is to cover the companies ass, not yours. To waste a few days of your time training you to be a company stooge. Remember a company wants a team player, not someone that can think for themselves. It was amazing to find out that most trainers have no formal education or training in the subjects that they teach. You will enjoy all of the episodes in season 6... Be sure to turn in to see every show.

Millions upon millions of dollars are wasted each year on (no pun intended) "Bullshit"
