A friend of mine was hired to film, Wells Fargo, employees, while they were undergoing sensitivity training to handle the media. The employees were mainly employees of color, who might be questioned by the media (or family and friends) about predatory lending practices. Basically the employees knew the company had prayed upon, predominantly, poor people of color and they need to be able to talk to family, friends and the media without looking guilty or saying too much about the company’s guilt. My friend was really really bothered by this and quit, but what bothered me more was that there is a company, out there, who’s only job is to train people to lie about corporate guilt. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, they probably get a lot of business.
