mandatory anti-corruption training feels like a farce at the best of times. But today, in this moment and this market, it feels like a taunt

Two things are going on here, or were back when I had to do this:
(1) They're offloading liability onto employees, so the company and its management can say, "Not our fault! We *trained* them not to do it."
(2) They also might as well be saying the world is now run by awesomely skilled corrupt people, with whom you can't compete. Don't even *attempt* corruption on the Trump scale, because he's spent a lifetime training for this kind of grift.
@jenniferplusplus omg, yes!! After completing the mandatory training, I did ask for confirmation that the totally corrupt looking thing was not actually corrupt. It took a while to be taken seriously but I did actually get a direct answer in writing in the end, which I was beginning to think wouldn't happen.
@jenniferplusplus How do they even train against corruption? Seems like an integrity issue, not skill. Unless it's very specifically about recognizing and reporting corruption?
@Nephrite it's very specifically about satisfying their legal obligation to provide training in order to shift their liability onto their employees
@jenniferplusplus Damn, that's fucked up. Literally kafkaesque.
