Unconscious Bias Training.
On my way home from Tenby I was listening to a piece on Radio 5Live about companies and institutions that are now sending their staff to Unconscious Bias Training classes.
This is where you are taught to unthink.
Apparently many of us are riddled with bias and need to eradicate this from our being.
What a hideous load of claptrap ( there I go again I suppose! )
This Liberal “Leftie” nonsense is what’s causing so many of today’s problems in my opinion.
Has nobody explained to to these types that this “bias” is what’s commonly known as “having an opinion” and it has ever been thus.
I remember getting a severe bol locking from my Sales Director in the mid 90’s at a training course costing our company thousands.
A room full of about 40 of us were told to link hands with the nearest person which created a really messed up chain.
We then had to “work together” to extricate ourselves without breaking hands.
I refused to engage and walked out followed by a few of our other lads and I topped things off by saying I thought it was all “bo locks”.
The event was halted and me and the other lads were hauled in for a dressing down.
My boss said he thought we were a disgrace and I disagreed and told him I thought the disgrace was the multi thousands our cash strapped company were wasting on this tosh.
I explained to him that as a sales manager of a large territory like each of us lads were that we were in effect “lone wolves”.........we were actively encouraged to smash our fellow reps figures.
The word “team” doesn’t come into a salesman’s vernacular........it’s all about “self,self,self”.........you couldn’t give a toss that your other reps are having a bad day.
The sales director and his regional managers were the ones that needed to learn how to operate a f king team......not us......they couldn’t see the irony.
Unconscious Bias Training would’ve seen the end of me in the corporate world.
It’s like forcing everyone to take the knee........the fear of not doing it is the reason many are doing it.
Society is crippled by all of this junk.
