If you run a private business doing landscaping you can probably afford not to have extensive orientation sessions with your employee's due to the fact that you just can them if they are not working out. This is obviously not the case at the city. Therefore, you are forced to spend a lot of time on the front end making sure they know exactly what is expected of them in the publics eye.
So they could have done the whole thing in a morning and not two days.

You will never convince me of the need for a two day orientation session with a motivational speaker being anything but a ginourmous waste of time.
