I had a teacher in junior high who would slam his shoe on the desk by your head if you fell asleep. Man, some of these people have balls!

Oh my! This so reminded me of my sister. She is a learning specialist/trainer for a call center. Good luck with that group!

My husband met his future BFF during orientation at his work 6 years ago. Funny enough, my aunt was leading the orientation and DH's future friend fell asleep and she made him stand in the corner facing the wall. My aunt is pretty aggressive!
DH remembers saying "Look at that bum. He won't last a week!" And now they are best friends, bordering on brothers even, and both are still working there and at the top of their shift and up for promotions.

What age group are they? We used to have training sessions on our floor for new employees (mainly new graduates), and they were so loud, so unprofessional, and so disrespectful — and the washrooms were filthy by the end of the day. We used to ask the receptionist on our floor for the schedule so we could work at home when all-day training was scheduled!

I hear that! I managed a "kid" who was only 3 or 4 years younger than me who didn't want to spend the money on gas to drive to the office, so he emailed me at 8 in the morning to tell me he had decided to work from home.
What do you do?

Wow, how crazy! I can't even imagine how anyone makes it into adulthood not knowing you can't act like that in the workplace.
