Oh man... this is so funny. I'm sitting at working going through diversity training and the example they use is this...
"One particular story really struck a chord for us. It showed how diverse teams can produce the widest variety of ideas. Forty years ago, a toy manufacturer decided to hire a woman designer for a department consisting only of men. She helped the team create something entirely new: a doll for boys. GI Joe became the first action figure—and an American icon. " Yo Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Well I hope that corporarte re-education program goes well for you there.
Nice example though. Personally I am for myopic in-breeding of corporate pontifications. Who needs GI Joe anyway? |

That's funny.
We had to go through sensitivity training a while back. Role-plays about how to be assertive and not aggressive and such. I work in an office full of women and let's just say Venus is not a peaceful planet. |
