Ugh. Why do internal trainings always feel like they’re designed to check a box instead of actually teaching something useful? Does your company do a good job upskilling?

Because all the value is in signaling employee value, and none comes from actually upskilling?

On the company level, no.

On the team level - yes.

Amen

Not gonna lie because training people is really hard. I realized this as I went up the ranks, I may give people the same training I would have needed to pick something up when zi was at that level and 9/10 people tell me they learned nothing. And which point I left wondering how they succeed at tying their shoes in the morning without dying. And I am left baffled and how much training the average person needs to do the most basic thing. Then they blame lack of training for everything and I just give up on the 9 that need 100s of hours of training to do the most basic things, and focus on coaching the ones that are ok with 1 or 2 hours to get started.

Do you really want more mundane trainings?
