Current Events > Do you have to do those Computer Based Learning Modules at your work?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yes, although I work for a utility company rather than retail. They're mostly around health and safety, ethics and properly protecting personal data. I don't mind the safety ones tbh, people have suffered life changing injuries that were avoidable if they'd just acted more intelligently.

utility company , so you are out in the field going to people's houses? idk easier just have a person show you. They are like getting much bigger, learning modules, not less in importance at most places....

Yes I don't work in retail but I still do sexual harassment, cyber security, etc common sense training stuff.

places are like getting more and more of them, not less

My college does it

Did them at burger King. The prison and now the juvenile detention center I work.

The latter 2 was 90% cyber security training which I hated it at the prison cause most of us didn't even have access to anything on a computer outside our fucking training and our paystubs.

At the detention center though I got access to a lot more so the cyber security shit seems more relevant. In fact already have had two suspicious emails and I ain't even been there 2 months. Makes me wonder if it's someone testing me or it's a legit phishing attempt

I have to do the same damn modules every year. Food safety, hazmat, electronic recycling. Pretty much know em inside and out by now.

are there like 2 users on this board that work at a detention center prison, or was it just you? one guy at a medium security prison or something, then you now switched to a juvenile detention center...? unsure

Yes, a whole bunch of them. It's a pain in the ass especially since they hardly change.

I skip the reading and go straight to the questions which are mostly logic.

I worked at a medium prison and switched to juvinle detention. There is 2 others I know that have worked at a prison they just don't bring it up as often as me.

Maybe you are confused cause at some point I got a username change but that was well before switching to detention

you switched to juvenile detention ? is it much better than for, adults?

My work has them and puts the required yearly sexual harassment training on it. It is so stupid. 30-45 minutes of watching a video on basic common decency. If you cant pass the quiz at the end on the first try, you are a horrible human being.

I like the ones that let you test out of them. We have terrible video based ones where you can't skip ahead, though.

Yeah

We're a national research center with a double-digit number of locations across the country, so getting everyone in one place would be difficult lol

And you cant even tab out of them or it pauses. Good thing we have two monitors.

Mixed bag. Staff assualts are more common and less we are allowed to do to defend ourselves but they are way stricter on the kids to try and lower that. Like they gotta ask permission to do damn near anything like even getting up and walking to another spot. (Think the strictness perhaps helps cause it though but then again they also know we are very limited on what we can do in a fight) they got more structure for the kids though so there is far less contraband like drugs as their time is pretty much occupied all day long and there is actual attempts at rehabilitation unlike the adult side where they just offer programs but it's strictly voluntary.

I took more pride in the adult side cause I was damn good at what I did but I'm happier to support this because the actual attempts to rehabilitate. Plus it's a more laid back job. I can bring my phone in or books etc. All that was a no go at the prison. Well my shift anyways kids are supposed to be I'm bed on third so they give us staff some extra privileges to help keep us awake. Prison didn't care go stare at these 4 walls for 12 hours but dont dare nod off

As a Federal Contractor, I have to do 6-10 CBTs each year (some are only biannual). The trick is to switch the training into "accessibility mode", then find the 508-required transcripts and download or copy/paste them into a notepad doc.

so it is like a prison for those under 18 though, they just call it something else? Are like mental health issues more of a problem at the juvenile one than the adult one. Glad to see that there is much more focus on rehabilitation at the juvenile facility. There is like no focus on rehab at the adult one though?

Ok so a difference being this is a detention center meaning they haven't been convicted yet. But yes under 18. We might have a 18 year old for s short period if he turned 18 while with us. It's more like a jail where someone straight off a a arrest gets taken. Though adult jail will keep convicted people of the sentence ain't too long. We don't.

I haven't been here long but I've seen more mental health issues on the adult side. We got two that may have some but one i feel is faking it. Idk but I feel it. Then again we got more if you consider rapists a mental case. But 2 of those where statutory rape which means the victim "consented" but due to age couldn't legally. And oddly both of those cases the victim was a family member.

There is attempts at rehabilitation on the adult side just not enough and it's all on a voluntary basis. But us officers where not a part of it. Only rehabilitation we offered was.dont like how you are treated don't fuck up and end here then.

I personally have an office job, but I can't really say too much about it without doxxing myself a bit. It's not super secret or anything, it's just it would be somewhat easy to identify me.

interesting, you think they are faking it, but why would they do that?

I only feel He's faking cause every outside source like his family and school says this behavior is not like him but its what we deal with daily. So to me he's faking or he snapped. I'm not a mental health professional so I just have my opinions..

No but I said he has something to gain by doing that?

Annually generally fair housing, harassment, safety, etc.

Mostly food safety for me. Very important that we know not to keep Windex in Gatorade bottles.

Idk maybe a insanity plea on his case. He assaulted 3 cops and injured one. Literally his only charges whatever the cops tried arresting for in the first place apparently got thrown out or he attacked cops just for the sake of it idk.

Bug yeah all he does till he goes to sleep is yell loudly and beat on his door and cuss at any staff who walk by. Ocassionaly he will calmly ask you something innocent like what time is it but as soon as you answer him he reverts back to cussing and screaming at you. So I just don't entertain it anymore. You ignore him he goes to bed faster.

Did them all the time in retail. Now it's just me and my route each day. One company meeting per year. Independent the rest of the time.

he could be looking at very serious time right? but maybe in a juvenile prison? yeah not many juvenile prisons.....possibly

I had his charges wrong. He assaulted his sister and mother. Then a detention officer after arrested. He has since assaulted or attempted to asualt like 7 staff at detention facilities. I read all his case notes last night it is a roller coaster. He might legit have some issues.

Read a lot of cases last night surprised how many kids have victimized family members and the family actually had them arrested. I understand the rapes but seeing a case where a girl got arrested for assaulting her father was wild.

But idk about assaulting his family assaulting assaulting government official which cops correctional and detention officers fall under only carri3s 150 days in jail here
