Reality show

I would say that I have spent at least my fair share of life in school as well as in the workplace. One consistent observation I have is that most schooling is not aimed at preparing you for the workplace. Sometimes I feel like I must be in a reality show with what I see at work. There should be a required class that teaches you what to do when your boss lies about you to HR. or what to even do when you find yourself at a meeting with HR present. Or when to call your lawyer. It isn't enough to do good work or be a good employee. You have to always document events. Even things that seem insignificant at the time. I remember a time when I thought it was weird when the new guy did not join us for social events and he kept to his work schedule like a clock. Now I might be asking him for a job because he was able to flee faster than me and was better prepared to leave a situation that suddenly became bad.
