    we had a series of company lunches where you’d sit at a table with people different from you

    Believe or not, most people don’t want to waste anymore of their time a work then necessary. So unless your work load is light enough to where you don’t care about wasting 1 hour like that, I don’t get it.

    We are only doing this circle jerk because boomers are bigots and sex pests. I don’t need this bullshit “training” They can stop being bigots and stop harassing women for sex at work!!! Wouldn’t that solve the issue, no grifters needed, management is enough as is.

    What I need is more time to spend with family.

    Like guy above said, it aint like executives buy into it, it does not change anything besides them getting good PR off wasting MY TIME.
