2 days to study for state exam when other employees given min. 3 weeks. Do I bring it up to the director?

About five months ago, HR sent out an email with info and study material about the state licensing exam with studying being scheduled during work hours. It said we should begin studying ASAP to prepare. I asked my supervisor three times about study opportunities: December, after receiving the email – I asked if there would be an opportunity for remote study. She said it was not my place to ask and it will be assigned when it's assigned. That same conversation she told me I was still on probation and needed to start putting my best foot forward. End of February – A coworker asked with me and we were told it would be assigned when it was time. No other info. April – I was told “off the record” nothing is stopping me from studying at home. All other lab employees were given about three weeks minimum to study.…


About five months ago, HR sent out an email with info and study material about the state licensing exam with studying being scheduled during work hours. It said we should begin studying ASAP to prepare. I asked my supervisor three times about study opportunities:

  1. December, after receiving the email – I asked if there would be an opportunity for remote study. She said it was not my place to ask and it will be assigned when it's assigned. That same conversation she told me I was still on probation and needed to start putting my best foot forward.

  2. End of February – A coworker asked with me and we were told it would be assigned when it was time. No other info.

  3. April – I was told “off the record” nothing is stopping me from studying at home.

All other lab employees were given about three weeks minimum to study. Our exam is next Thursday and I have had less than two scheduled days to study.

My anxiety is telling me that bringing this to the director is going to make my time here miserable and maybe I'm in the wrong and should have been studying from home this whole time. I once asked the admin person responsible for PTO/sick leave etc for a current total of my hours because I wasn't adding things up correctly. My supervisor was forwarded my email and pulled me outside to ask me if I had a problem with her and that I was going over her head to ask for my employee info.

Can you help give me perspective?
