The Satire of Sensitivity: Diversity Training in the Workplace

In corporate life, there’s a legendary beast known as the diversity training workshop. These sessions, noble in intent yet comedic in execution, are where the art of tiptoeing around sensitivities is perfected. Picture a room where everyone is a tightrope walker, balancing between the poles of political correctness and actual understanding. This is where phrases like “I don’t see color” or “Some of my best friends are [insert minority group here]” are uttered with an earnestness that borders on comedic. The air is thick with the desire to be open-minded, so palpable that you could cut it with the company-branded swag pen. Participants engage in a verbal ballet, pirouetting around every potentially sensitive topic, while the facilitator, armed with a slideshow and good intentions, guides this dance of delicate diplomacy. <a href="https://medium.com/@leighmckiernon/the-satire-of-sensitivity-diversity-training-in-the-workplace-f4c365fd0e59">Website</a>
