I was hired for a part time job and I went to the training for it. It had been a long time since I had worked for hire, and it had been more than a decade since I had been in training. The photos were taken near the training site.
About 20 years ago, the company I joined after graduating from university was a fairly athletic company, and the training for new employees was a week-long overnight stay, military style. Arriving at the training site, at first, the employee who had private conversation and the appearance violation was gathered in one place, and they were said, "Go home!" and threatened with intimidation.
Male employees had their hair cut or trimmed on the spot if it was even slightly long (although this practice has since been discontinued...). During the training, we were made to chant the corporate philosophy over and over again so loudly that the windows seemed to shatter. Looking back on it now, it was insane. On the last day, we had to walk long distances, including through mountains and by the sea. Are there still companies that offer that kind of training today?
That is what "training" meant to me, so I entered the training hall for this part-time job training with some nervousness. However, the instructor on the first day was a very pleasant young man who radiated an unusual freshness and praised me for everything I did. "That's wonderful! Perfect!" etc. ... Since the training is for two days, I was tempted to think that the kindness on the first day was a trap and that a devilish instructor was waiting for me on the second day. I was very cautious, but the man who appeared on the second day, who seemed to be in his 40s or 50s, was also very nice and kind, which made me feel a little disappointed.
Is it because it is a part time job training? Or is this the modern way? I was surprised at how different it was from the training I received in the past.

先日面接に行ったパートの仕事の採用が決まったので、その研修に行ってきました。雇われて働くのも久しぶりなら、研修なんて十何年ぶりだったのではないでしょうか。
私が新卒で入社した会社はかなり体育会系の会社で、新入社員の研修は一週間の泊まり込みで、軍隊式でした。研修会場に到着し、私語や身だしなみ違反があった社員は一ヶ所に集められ、「帰れ！」と恫喝されるところから始まります。男性は少しでも髪が長ければ、その場で切られたり、刈られたりしていました（その後、さすがにその儀式はなくなりましたが・・・）。研修では、窓が割れそうな大声で何度も企業理念を唱和させられました、なつかしいなぁww 最終日には山間部や海辺の岩場を含む、長距離のウォーキングがあったり。令和の今でも、そういう研修を行っている会社はまだあるのでしょうか？
私にとって「研修」といえばそういうものだったので、今回も若干緊張気味で研修会場に入りました。ところが初日に指導を担当してくれたのはとても感じのいい若い男性で、異様なさわやかさを放ち、何をしても褒めてくれます。「素晴らしいです！」「バッチリです！」・・・研修は2日間なので、もしや1日目の優しさは罠で、2日目に鬼教官が待ち構えているのではと勘繰りたくなるレベル。。。そこでかなり用心して行ったのですが、2日目に登場した40～50代らしき男性も素晴らしく感じが良く優しく、拍子抜けしました。
パートの研修だからかな？それとも、これが令和式なのか。そもそも業界も違いますが。自分がその昔受けた研修とのあまりの違いに驚いた2日間でした🤣
