Day 107: Management Training

Anytime you start a new job, particularly with a large company, you typically have to do a lot of training.

When I worked at the cafe I spent two days in London for an induction. This was a complete waste of my time.

Today's training was similar, but probably better.

I turned up an hour early because I was told the hotel was 14 miles from the training venue. It was less than 3. So that was annoying.

A lot of terminology was used for categorising people.
Where I would describe a staff member as a "Muppet" they would say "category D 1"
Where I would say "Fucken idiot who doesn't deserve a job"
They would say "category d2"

Personally I prefer my terms, they are much easier to understand.

Other highlights of my day included the trainer describing himself as a "maverick."
My trainer using the word "quintuple."
A below average meal at the local harvester restaurant.(which luckily someone else paid for)
And of course seeing the sign pictured above.

I am unsure if this business is just for Japanese cars, or is run by Japanese people, and quite why they are breaking cars is beyond me.
