I work at the reception of a small hotel. I didn't study about it, but it so happened that I started here supposedly temporarily, but the temporary one turned out to be 8 years. In a nutshell, I realized that although I had studied something completely different, my future was related to working in tourism. And quite normally, after a few years, I hinted to the bosses that it was time for a promotion. Well, they got away with explaining that I hadn't finished hiking, and I kept quiet. However, I recently discovered that I don't need to enroll in a whole new college degree, I just need to complete a Hotel Administrator course. I plan to sign up and I shared this with my boss. I have not said a word about promotion, on the contrary. I told her that I could learn something useful in the course to implement in the work. In addition, I will pay for the course myself and it will be outside working hours, ie I do not harm my bosses in any way. And yet the boss reacted negatively. What was this course for me, I've been doing this for 8 years, they wouldn't teach me anything new, and they wouldn't take me to a big hotel without a degree in tourism ... he did everything possible to make me hesitate. I also talked to people close to me and everyone thinks that my boss reacted like that because she realizes that with a diploma and years of experience I have a great chance to leave her and look for a better paid place, but if she cares so much about me, why not show it by raising my salary? He both keeps me on a ridiculous salary and does everything possible to stop me from developing. I do not understand. In the end, if I do not leave, I will certainly learn something in this course that will be useful to me in my work and will be useful for her and her business. They keep muttering that the staff is not qualified enough. E, and I don't even expect her to pay for my qualification. Then? Why does he react like that?

Leave immediately, safe from such 'bosses'. Don't let them make fun of you, because that's exactly what's happening.
Because she is used to enslaving her for no money and if you improve your skills you will want better conditions. If you are at a job where you are paid a little does not talk about training, such things are good to say only in conditions where people are valued and invested in their development and education.
Well, what do you not understand - slaveholders, they do not care about you, they are looking to use you, that's it. Grow and find a better place in the field if you want to develop in the hospitality industry. Learn a language if you don't know any other than English, it will be useful for you. I don't know how you tolerate such 'bosses', I would fuck her, but in this case it's good that you stayed in one place for 8 years, speaks well of you, use it, but don't get stuck in this place, develop and your horizons will widen, and the money will be more.
Changing jobs is not recommended, but when you stick to one for so long, it happens. Namely - you do not understand. If not only have you stayed a long time but it's your only job so far ... You've messed everything up really well. All answers are in the post. Take your course. Don't explain yourself to anyone. Don't wait for a raise. They will even convince you that this is a lot for you. This office has nothing more to give you. A young woman with 8 years of experience .... hotels are full. Work for little money - pain. Realize, change places. Gain experience. But not only professional. How many numbers have you not seen since bosses ehe ... To know that this experience - the tricks of the bosses and colleagues also enters your "work experience". Of course, it is only for personal consumption.
You pay for the course, it's not working hours, so why do you need someone's approval at all? If you sign up, what - will he fire you ?!
Number 1, 2, 3 and 4 thanks for the comments. Number 4 is not my first job, but it's the job I've been working on the longest. I am 36 years old, so I have seen other numbers from bosses and colleagues, but it is strange to me, because on the one hand the boss constantly tells me how much she appreciated me, how good I was at work, etc., and on the other "my What is this course for you? ”Otherwise, I was about to leave several times during those years, I even went to interviews, but still something didn't work out. Not to mention that I had a lot of personal problems, so at one point the search for a new job was left in the background, but if I don't want to be completely dumb, it's time to do something, and urgently, that after 40 it will probably be more -difficult to find a new job.
