So just like the title reads, my boss has denied me not once, but twice, when I asked for training opportunities.
I work for a fairly large municipality in the engineering department as a tech. I draft projects for roadways and do most of the field work for the other engineers. I don't hate my job but I definitely don't get paid enough to do it.
Well I've approached my boss in mid June about potential training opportunities that could further my career and help a little more around the office and was denied due to the fact that I expressed wanting to move out of the state saying “we aren't going to pay for this expensive class for someone who isn't going to be here for the long run”. I tried to be understanding about it so i brushed it off. I found a drafting class that was cheaper and brought it up today and was told the same thing.
This feels kinda malicious or at least unfair at this point. Is this an HR complaint? Any advice is appreciated.
