Not going to lie, I was actually super anxious when they sent that out because my immediate thought absolutely was "Shit, they had to do training because of me..."
Huge kudos to the training though, because it literally was just a 5-10 minute online training that explained gender/gender identity in a really clear way, how it was different than sexuality, etc. and wasn't preachy or anything else.
Yeah, I get it. I will sometimes get confused on stuff (like is a Trans-man a he or a she? Not disrespectful but I honestly don't know if a Trans-man was born female and transitioned to make or was born male and transitioned to female).
I used to work in a large corporation in a heavily regulated industry so I had SOOO many trainings(before leaving the last time I checked my training transcript was 38 pages long) . One time a long time employee accidentally left a filter with explosive dust on it on a shelf, it got knocked off, sparked and caught fire. Luckily the fire was quickly contained and didn't even need the fire department. BUT... Everyone now needed 2 days in person training about dealing with filters and flammable stuff. That type of training sucked.
Tldr; Don't leave things that react with oxygen/air unattended.
