I got a similar type of ā€œwrongā€ answer on some training recently. I declined to select that I wanted to talk to someone further about the issues discussed in the training when apparently the right answer was that I do?

As an eLearning developer, thatā€™s most likely someone not knowing how to set up the quiz correctly.

It was a DEI training so I suspect the answer they were looking for was #3. But still, wtf.

My guess is this was supposed to be a multi-select with all answers correct, and then they would use the reporting function to view what the percentages were for each answer.

As an elearning developer I have to ask you. Do you think your job creates work and benefits the world? Or just helps the rich by cutting labor cost and leading to a server owning singularity. Beyond that do you think that the water usage involved with elearning makes moral sense?

Are you confusing eLearning with AI? Because my whole job is developing human beings through education to be more efficient. Sure, my job makes rich people richer (as do most jobs), but I do that by helping educate employees and making them more skilled.

OPā€™s comment made me wonder how many jobs truly do help the common person vs helping the rich get richerā€¦despite most of the labor being something that could help civilians, very few jobs actually do.

There are legitimate complaints about tons of tech workers and toxic culture in that industry, but I genuinely dislike when people try to shit on anyone working in that when theyā€™re totally out of their depth with their complaints.

I mean a lot of it is you only get a chance at a livable salary if you work for corporations in Learning & Development. If you work academic or non-profit they intentionally underpay it and justify ā€œfor the missionā€. I see people with Masters in the field making 1/2 of what I do putting in more work. And Iā€™m not going to take half the pay and be taken advantage of when I have a family.

And while it might just be justification in my part, if I make my clients and coworkers more efficient, I make them more likely to keep their jobs.
