You should try a NEBSS course. It's a 'how to think the way management want you to' course. My employer sent me (and others) on one. After the first session I told the guy running it that it was a load of bollocks.

It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
This was compulsory. Been there almost 13 years never had a thing offered to me. It was just the idea of a DVD box set being considered as 'extravagant' that got me.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
I found ways too but I ran out of them.

That certainly is confusing. I guess the difference is there is no lingering evidence of the show, hotel and hookers. While the box set remains as evidence of the exchange? Once a sales woman gave me a bottle of liquor for Christmas, that was about the limit of my benefits from outside. Although, they made a rule that no one was supposed to do telephone surveys. A woman called me and offered $50 to take a survey, seeing I did all the buying for the computer department, and I took it! In only two days I got the check in the mail. So, I guess I wasn’t the people your class was talking to?

My attitude was that I was not 'senior' enough to influence purchases. Despite being a 'Principle Research Scientist' (or sometime 'Research Associate'; they kept changing our titles ), I still had to get all purchase orders countersigned by the Departmental Manager.
So as I could not be 'bought', or in any way induced by 'backhanders', I regarded the ethic course as not being applicable to me, and avoided/boycotted it.

Once I was shopping to buy a $9K printer for the Art Department. The sales woman was very forward! Wearing miniskirts and low cut blouses, long blond hair, she was quite fetching. And she poured on the charm! Took me out to eat, she was so nice. She suggested we try a sample, and they delivered a $12.5K version of the printer, I pointed out that it was not the version I was shopping for, but was told not to worry. Well, it boiled down to her giving me an invoice for the $12.5K printer, and I refused it, told her to load it up and take it the heck outta there! She was no longer kind, and threw a fit! And I wound up getting the $12.5K printer for $9K! I guess it was a good thing I didn’t sleep with her?

Even better you didn't give her one

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
