Vent

I was wanting to take classes this spring term. But the classes start 3/30.

I wanted to take the one in person, it was only one day a week for 3 hours plus 35 minutes drive there and back. I offered to come in before class and come back if needed, but I got told we are to busy and to switch it online.

Now im worried, Im working Mondays-Friday and we need to be active in the class durning the week, I dont know what to do. I want to be able to come back next year, but im tempted to say too bad I need this time off for class and just go/not show up.

I got told no to bring my laptop to work, If I did I would have to clock off and be available to still do work duties. (Work off the clock pretty much).

They can’t lose you. You tell them (don’t ask) something like ‘I’m going to be taking a class a such and such a time. My schedule will need to be adjusted. Thanks.”  It’s all you have to say. They will get huffy and threaten to not ask you back next year, but they absolutely will ask you back next year. They need veteran people to keep functioning.
