Compliance

Today, I was forced to attend a fire safety class, as required by my job. Last year, I completed the fire academy as a volunteer fireman. The class was not only insulting, but wrong in many ways. I got kicked out for pointing them out. I now have to take it again, or be fired. FML

Those are things that should be pointed out. if the class is miseducating people then you need to report that to someone.

You'd be fired for not taking a fire safety class.. Seems reasonable. But no, really, take it higher.

You'd think giving a fire safety class with misinformation would be illegal, maybe you can report them.

If I wad you, you most likely got a certificate for graduating the Fire Academy. Take that certificate in and provide a copy to your employer to show you are trained in fire safety, and you can even mention that what is being taught is incorrect. Since you are a volunteer fire fighter, you can offer a solution tithe training like teach it yourself or recommend someone to reach it that will teach correct information.

'Firefighter' is more correct since it applies to both genders. Fire person doesn't flow well, so that's not an option, and most people don't say fireman when talking about a male firefighter and firewoman when talking about a female.

Fired, a little ironic wouldn't you think?

Actually, no. Irony is something counter-intuitive. For instance, wrecking your car because you were distracted by a sign on the side of the road that told you to watch the road. It was a sign meant to make you not crash, but it made you crash: Hence, the irony. A cold hot-cake is ironic, because you would immediately think a hot-cake would be-- y'know, hot. A fish drowning is ironic. The word "fire" being in "fired" and also in "fireman" and "fire department" is not ironic; it's just coincidental, or a pun, at best.

And now I'm going to point out that you called yourself a "fireman," when in fact, you stated that you are a woman.

A member of the same first aid organisation as me had a similar problem at work where on the first aid course she had to take for work they were told they could give someone another person's asthma inhaler. Which is something you should never do as it might not be the same dose or a different drug. Anyway... she had to pass the course to carry on with her job and had to state that as an answer to pass the course. So she did but asked for it to be put on record that she had done it under pressure of being disqualified. I had a first aid course and a top up course by the same organisation over the same weekend. One told us we could administer epipens/anapens and the other said we couldn't. The first was right but there were several things wrong in the second course which we ripped to shreds on the feedback. OP. Maybe next time sit back and don't comment but make them acknowledge that you are unhappy with what you are being taught on the records.
