Super Ginormous Corporation Continues to Use Same Training Videos From 1992

Super Ginormous Corporation, a leading company in several major industries, continues to use the same training videos they first deployed in 1992. The recordings feature rudimentary graphics, odd theme music and young spokespeople wearing high-waisted jeans.

“We produced these videos in 1992,” said a spokesperson. “They work perfectly well so we haven’t seen the need to spend vital profits on updating them.”

A reporter observed training methods, techniques and insights have improved since 1992, and there have been significant technological advances in machinery and computerization. She asked if it was time to update the dated training videos.

“We don’t see any real need to update the videos,” said the spokesperson. “We are basically doing the same boring thing, and at this point the videos are kind of funny for us. Makes the day go faster.”
