Gregory's Server@cstross Back in the day, I did a HR qualification and I felt almost exactly the same: the people who needed to know this stuff were the staff and their managers, not people like me who exclusively got flown in when someone had severely fucked up because they didn’t know it. The more this knowledge gets spread around, the more people will be aware of what’s happening when things go South and be able to act appropriately.
@cstross (As an aside, the best thing I learned on my course was that pregnant people can do whatever they want in the workplace because no-one can prove their behaviour isn’t linked to the pregnancy, and firing people for being pregnant is an instant loss at a tribunal)
