Love human connection & interaction in a social setting, but this should not be confused with the 5-10 minute check-in before the commencement of the project guidance or overview

because boomers are obsessed with suffering, as well as making everyone around them suffer. that's why.

As a Boomer, with the exception of one vendor training session in 2019 and another in 2015, all of my training since 2008 has been virtual.

Because it is meaningful.
Because a training is given by someone and not by a program.
Self-learning is not training.
It’s training commoditization.

OP is talking about training via zoom, etc. Not just self-directed modules.

There's no reason you need to be in office to train someone how to do something that they are going to do on a computer anyways

I much prefer in person training and I’m far from a boomer.

Anyone else required to put together completely unrealistic timelines?

Upper management's direction is to put together the most aggressive deadlines we can. If we think a project will take 16 months, make the plan for 10 months then there's a chance we may launch in 13 months.

I understand that time to market is important in consumer product goods, but being constantly behind schedule and rushing everything is terrible for the team's morale.
