WTF
Ok. So I’m a training coordinator/developer/trainer. I have been working at my current employer for just over a year. I have spent most of that year working on, proposing, and researching a Learning Management System that will streamline the training record keeping process as well as make more training more easily available to more employees. It was not approved the first time - not rejected, just not approved pending futher questions. Well finally the questions have come. I have provided documentation and answers to everything they have asked - well in advance. I, however, am not allowed to talk to the “deciders.” The person who is speaking to them, does not know the system or it’s capabilities like I do. Which is why it was not approved the first time. So now that they’re asking questions through her to me, I’m providing the answers to the best of my ability - most of the time trying to figure out exactly what they’re asking. At one point, I mentioned that in addition to all of the safety/compliance related trainng we will have access to, there is also Management, Communicatins, Computer, and HR skills training (including Sexual Harassment and Diversity training). Her response to that was “They don’t care about that.” I was just told by a representative of our HR department that they do not care about training that is not specifically required by law. The HR lady just told the training lady - we don’t care about training.
How the f’ am I supposed to stay on with an organization that doesn’t care about training, when my career choice has been training. How the hell am I supposed to find another job in an economy like this!?
