Please can you tell me what you think:
Basically my company are not bad overall and I quite enjoy it there on a fixed sallary. They are reasonably generous with parties, pensions, working conditions etc however last year they wanted me to do a college course (16th edition) and set it up as a 1 eve a week course (12 weeks i think). It was expected that I would do it as it was a benefit to me and my CV (although I don't need it for my job) and the company was paying for the course. It didnt think about it too much and just did it.
Anyway they have now said I will be doing a C&G wiring cource for 12 evenings again and have assumed I will do it again willingly. Thing is I dont need this for my job (it would be useful background knowledge only) and really dont want to use up 12 evening of my time unpaid doing it. If I tell them that though, I know my boss (Who is very go-getting and motivated) will think I am being (cant think of word) - unambitious, not go-getting, not wanting to further my education etc and it will look bad.
Do you think I should just do it for the sake of my future job potential? Say I dont want to do it? Will do it but I want to be paid extra or time off in lieu?
Cheers
