    I had a job where my department was very suddenly informed that 
rather than continuing with the quite successful training and 
introduction program that we had for our new people, instead A Trainer 
was required.

    After some bit we wound up with someone who definitely did not train 
people. Instead he spent his time making narcissistic videos, which were 
declared to be mandatory viewing for all in the department, and were 
totally useless for the work we were doing.

    In time, everyone actually getting the work done either ran for the 
door or finally got fired in waves.

    Somewhat in parallel, LinkedIn has been sending me begging emails 
demanding that I pay attention to it.  When I've logged in, I've been 
given displays based on where I've worked.

    One of the displays that pops up is a statement that the utter flake 
of a non-trainer now has a job which claims that he does "educational 
development", or something like that . . . .  at Google.
