Antiwork

My production manager told me this. For context, I work from 10h30 to 19h30 5 days a week. I just got taken back in the national sports team and so I have to make changes to my schedules so that I can attend my training sessions. The thing is, my training is at 18h00 and I should be leaving work at about 17h00 3 times a week so that I could be on time. I informed HR of this and HR agreed to it. Now HR called me the next day and told me it wouldn't be possible because my prod manager refused my request on his side. Apparently, it would cost like 7.5 hours per week off production.
