Found out we're doing a mandatory active-shooter training at work. It'll be "non interactive" which I guess means no fake guns or practice takedowns or whatever they do to scare people. At least one of my coworkers has already expressed adamant opposition to this, so I have at least one ally. I'd be more opposed if I were going to have fake guns pointed at me, but if it's just sitting in a room listening to someone talk, I don't mind being paid to listen to their bullshit. Anyway, beyond what I've said, I don't know much about these trainings, so what are some funny ways I could derail it? Don't hold back

I’m assuming no kind of derailing will be appreciated or probably tolerated.

Probably don’t take ideas from strangers on the internet for this either.

If management appreciates it, you have probably done something wrong

Who gives a shit if the boss appreciates it?

OP probably doesn't appreciate being blackmailed into selling his labor for a fraction of its value. OP is forced to tolerate a work place that makes him a potential casualty of gun violence at the risk of losing his home and healthcare coverage. Maybe if workers were paid a reasonable amount there would be less people losing their shit and going on a rampage when they reach the end of their rope. Maybe if capitalists didn't use unemployment as a weapon to keep workers under threat people wouldn't be stressed to the point of breaking.
