Found out we’re doing a mandatory active-shooter training at work. It’ll be “non interactive” which I guess means no fake guns or practice takedowns or whatever they do to scare people. At least one of my coworkers has already expressed adamant opposition to this, so I have at least one ally. I’d be more opposed if I were going to have fake guns pointed at me, but if it’s just sitting in a room listening to someone talk, I don’t mind being paid to listen to their bullshit. Anyway, beyond what I’ve said, I don’t know much about these trainings, so what are some funny ways I could derail it? Don’t hold back
you know you live in a healthy society when people use gallows humor to cope with their potential for violent death at the office
The normalization of it is baffling. I brought up how even the idea of this occurring makes me want to avoid the office especially since I knew two people who brought guns for a potential “good guy with a gun” scenario
The odds of this actually happening are vanishingly low. The overwhelming, overwhelming majority of gun violence is still murders and “gang violence”
“Oh this gun I brought it to kill a coworker if they attack the office”
a sign that someone has a bad attitude towards their colleagues
