Are workplace stories from years past allowed here? I can think of several from a previous employer (not my most recent) mostly that happened in the 1990s.
As an example, there was the time I took a CPR class offered at work. This employer was usually pretty tight about offering any sort of training classes to employees, but in order to meet the company's workplace health and safety standards, they needed a minimum number of employees to be trained in CPR. They hired a certified instructor and invited interested employees to sign up and take the class, which I did.
One reason I had signed up was in case an emergency arose at home where I had small children. Early in the class I asked a question relating to administering aid to a child. The instructor alluded to the fact that she hadn't brought the child CPR props but answered the question. A few minutes later another attendee asked a child-related question. Evidently I wasn't the only one who had been thinking about family members when signing up for the course. Soon after another came another “what if it's a child?” question. At that point, the instructor cut us off, explaining that our employer had only hired her to teach adult CPR and that it would take up too much time if we continued asking about child CPR. Those of us who had been asking the child questions just looked at each other and shrugged.
In a later conversation with our management about the class, the point was raised that some of us had signed for the CPR class in part to be able to render aid to our families if necessary. They doubled down on their having offered the course only for company objectives, and if employees wanted to know more they were on their own.
