Incompetent Industrials I
Remember when you worked at that company? And they made you watch those cheesy industrial videos about sexual harassment in the workplace? You know, the one you slept through because it was so awful?

They are uniformly heinous, but some are more heinous than others.

It’s amazing how little sense business people have, really.
