"I hoped he hadn't heard of it as I was making it up."
That made me laugh. Good thing he wasn't an "equal" and thought to pretend he already knew.
I'm just positive the rest of the class was envious that you were able to leave the class early.

It was such a weird informal thing. One of the guys there came out early too as he claimed to have work going on. lol.
I do like an inspirational suddenly made up word pop into my head!
LOL ! @ "he claimed to have work going on" Novel thought, to tell the truth and walk away.
I can't remember the number of times I've endured nonsense like this for my various jobs and sat there wondering how much my company spent on it all..... and how every penny of it was totally wasted.
No pay raise...What ?? Since covid started and "the people" have decided they no longer want to work for a living...LOL...our company fell in with the notion that all new workers would start at the coveted $15.00 per hour. In a very large meeting, another worker had asked the "Big Wheels" if the rest of the wages for the employees already there would go up accordingly and you can only guess that the answer was .... no.... but they hoped that would not make people feel diminished.... which of course it did. I don't think anybody really thought the answer might be YES instead, but it still had to be asked.
Now the rest of the people don't want to work for them either !
These questions always have to be asked because half the time they bank on no one asking them!
We got a really good rise last year but it was essentially to stop the brain drain because we hadn't had rises for quite some time or if we had they had been rubbish. It is so typical of them to now think, oh well that is them sorted, doh!
I have encountered such nonsense so many times. From tiny gatherings to corporate level things and each time they have been a phenomenal waste of time! They never learn but then I kinda think they like justifying the spend on improving the workforce even tho no one wants it!
If it actually improved the workforce and made people somehow more productive, then it would be more understandable. Maybe the company gets some sort of Brownie Points to show on their record that they offered such "training". All the while, those folks that present these programs are laughing all the way to the bank as they congratulate themselves for making all that money for their con job.
They should carry out some measurements and see what impact they have relative to the expenditure. Or then again maybe they don't for precisely that reason! Lol!
