I was required to attend D&I training at a job I held last year. I guess they didn't care enough about Equity to include the E. In any event, it was basically a White Man bashing session where we (the white men in attendance) were told that our participation was limited to promising to be an ally for those employees who felt aggrieved by whatever their pet peeve was.
Fortunately I had already accepted a new job by then, so I thanked the organizer for inviting me, left the room, and handed my resignation letter (an actual physical document) to my boss. During my exit interview I was absolutely clear in stating that the D&I "training" was a big part of my decision to leave the company.
