Do you like attending training? Or wven meetings?
I am not a fan of traininhs and seminars nor even.meetings. I feel like I had enough in my younger years. But because of the field I am in, this cannot be escaped.
Its a locked-in seminar which started yesterday and will last on Thursday. Imagine a training which took away my weekends with my family
Wish me.luck!

When I was in my early-30s, I was expected to show up for a training seminar that was supposed to last a week... I refused to go. They weren't paying me for it and I had better things to do. My boss kept sending me texts asking when I'd get there. I turned my phone off while I hunted for a better job. When they came back, I was already working somewhere else.

Thats good for you that you were able to decide not to go. In my case working in the government and being part of the mid management, saying no is not a good option unless you have valid reasons

@DaddyEvil That is only practical but it does not work that way in my field.

@cherigucchi But a "valid reason" is any reason you want it to be. I wasn't going to work without being paid. If I wasn't home, then they had to pay me!

That sounds miserable. I did not mind training as a young adult because I really felt I was preparing myself. However, as I got older, it felt more like it was an obligation and just was to check a box. I did not feel a real purpose in the training.

I feel the same way. I did enjoy trainings and seminars when I was younger since I felt there was a need to empower myself but now I do not feel that anymore but leaves me no other options but to attend.
