Killing Motivation #12: More Training

So I know I have talked about demoralizing your staff with training games - but the fun is only limited by your capacity for evil.

Here is another trick.

Pretend to give you employees training by getting other employees to share what they know. The design pattern here is called "The Blind Leading the Blind" - or in the case of some three letter corporation "Think".

Let your staff pretend to think they are getting training. I mean really you don't care if they get training or not. What is important is that they "Think" they are getting training. And it costs you nothing.
