But they don't think my time is worth anything.

Just another alternative view.

Sorry I wasn't aware you were working for nothing.....
Perhaps you should find paid employment?

That's great for you Regacy, I'm lucky enough to be in the same position and I always do my best to make sure I attend these courses. After all I'd be daft not to.....wouldn't I?

Yeh they pay for my courses

And no, on the odd occasion they fall on my days off, if I've not planned anything else, I'm quite happy to give up my time.

Trouble is, I know that if I'm going on a course I'm going to end up having to doing something dangerous....

Don't do it, its a subliminal message to get you to be over qualified and then sack you..............

Subliminal messages were banned, sue them under the Geneva Convention...........

Sure sure.
Short term gain for long term loss.
I'd pay you for your time and mark your card at the same time.

I'd mark the card of any employer who tried to shaft me and get my time for free. Then once training was complete I'd get another better paid job with a better company and tell the boss straight to his face what a bag of sh1te his company is (I've done this BTW and it felt great). They made me work out the full notice period and much to their chagrin I did as good a job as always- right up till the last minute they were paying me. Then **** you and out to the pub with all my ex-collegues (except my boss who gave them a written warning the next day for disloyalty)

Eagles may soar high, but turkeys don't get sucked into jet engines!!!

I know, I Know.

Cool

WOW!!! a written warning the next day for disloyalty
Can you do that?
I'd love to see a copy, can't see how that would stand up in any court of law.
Sounds like an invite to an industrial tribunal and a cheque for compensation all wrapped into one!

How can you be expected to soar like eagles....when you're led by turkeys

Can't spel, won't spel.
