No dog in this fight, as an American who has spent his entire adult life in Japan, but if I had been subject to this regulatory suite when founding my first business I would have just opted not to start.https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1014367940148260864 …

That sounds like a parody of "stupid bureaucratic box ticking" but the nature of bureaucracies is that you really, really don't want to have to say "Look I know 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(5) says all members of the workforce, explicitly including management, need training, but come on."

Regulations often end up incorporated by reference in contracts, sometimes organically and sometimes because they were explicitly designed to be viral. This lets regulators conscript the regulatees as surveillance regarding their business partners.

Take GDPR, for example. You might think "Well, that's certainly a big ball of mud, but thankfully I am too small to worry about it." BigCo is not too small. BigCo will hire a department to worry about it. Someone in BigCo will put "Vendor attests to GDPR compliance" on checklist.

I suppose that you could also have attended a third party training and that would also have satisfied the requirement, although perhaps have been less fun.

These trainings are not taken any more seriously by employees. Playing a flash game in which you press "next" a bunch of times and answer trivial questions is unlikely to do much. Although BigCos use this even for things they care about, like security, not just regulation.

We have the same nonsense in the UK whereby someone running a single person company (for example a contractor, or a solo SaaS) if they decide to close their business they need to give themselves one month's written notice otherwise they will lose some government benefits.

A friend of mine, years ago, when signing on to the unemployment register (for a brief period) was asked if he had told himself he was going to lose his job. Strange, but true.

I received annual training on the ethics of clinical trial enrolment for adults, children. With modules on the Tuskegee Study and the Willowbrook State School. I never enrolled anyone in clinical trials, nor did I meet the people who did. Gotta check those boxes.
