iluvtofly 0 #1 April 10, 2008 So today my boss comes in and says, "Don't make any plans for June 6, 7, or 8th." Seeing as how I already took off to go to Skyfest and signed up and paid for registration, balloon jump, helicopter jump and high altitude jump I ask him why. He said that weekend he signed us up for a class that's mandatory for employment. (I've been asking about taking this class since last August.) The class costs somewhere around $300, but my boss will pay for it so long as I sign a thing stating I'll work here for at least another 6 months to a year. So since he's paying for it he gets to chose when we take it. I tell him that I requested that weekend off almost 2 months ago, was told by his wife that I got it off and already spent close to $300 on registering for stuff for that weekend. So he turns around and goes back in his office for a few minutes. Comes back and tells me that he rescheduled the whole class so that I wouldn't have to cancel my plans for Skyfest.

That's way too much... My company kicked in $8000 for me and I only have one year commit.... At least he rescheduled it.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites iluvtofly 0 #5 April 10, 2008 Doesn't bother me to much. I didn't plan on leaving here anytime soon anyway. Plus it's a privately owned ambulance service. Not a huge profit margin comes with that. So it's pretty much comming out of his own pocket.

The boss (or who was supposed to be the boss) wanted me to pay for my EVOC!! Can you believe that!! I told him, I though you would pay me while taking the class since it's technically supposed to be considered part of the job"Those who would give up Essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" Franklin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites iluvtofly 0 #9 April 10, 2008 How much was your EVOC? I had to pay for mine but it only cost $10 so it wasn't that big of a deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AKCrash 0 #10 April 10, 2008 They wanted me to pay $200 for it. So I was thinking: $200 / $21 (ticket price for 13,500 ft at Z-Hills) = 9.52 Jumps So I figured I would skydive instead.. I found another company which offered to pay for orientation and EVOC was included. I was supposed to do the orientation May 1st, but since I broke my fibia in a night jump 4 weeks ago, I get to have a little vacationAre you an EMT?
