Most of our mandatory trainings and professional developments are ridiculous. Luckily we are too broke to conduct this nonsense too often and they can’t make me pay for it. I pay for ton of stuff that I find important and that benefit my job. I am not paying for nonsense. I don’t sweat over this stuff though. Every job has some nonsense component. Saying that I believe if you address how inappropriate it is, they can’t force you to answer these questions. They aren’t in a job description.
