Not if our company is losing millions of dollars. And a Christmas party is not a paid function. If you want to do Personal Development for the most part your free to do so, but its unpaid, and on the employees dime. In the case of classes or PD that's paid for by the company we don't pay them for the time off or taking the courses on their own time.

They are temp workers, there's next to no intent to keep them, I'm all for training for their jobs, but according to the story thats not really what this was doing. There was a short video on equipment use, the rest of it sounded like a waste of time and money. A motivational speaker shouldn't be needed especially on the first day at work. Temp workers don't need to worry about conflict resolution, since to me thats something that should be left to the managers and supervisors to take care of, and it shouldn't have taken the time it did, and it didn't require glossy handouts or guest speakers.
