Hi, We just did our self-evaluations for our employer.
At the department meeting today, the boss said getting a masters degree was not an objective that supported company goals and was not a good objective for our self reviews. Yours truly mentioned pursuing a masters degree in his self review. Last year, I put on there getting more familiar with our product line and becoming an SME in some areas, and I'm doing that. But I do that anyway. Slots in company training courses on our product were given to folks other than me this year, because I already have a good base and the other folks are newer. So, company training is not something I have ready access to. And, I learn our product anyway. And, moreover, I want new things in my self review, not the same ones every year. Additionally, my employer pays folks with an MA more than folks with a BA, and folks with a PhD significantly more, for the same level of work. And, allegedly, my employer does have tuition reimbursement, though I can find no examples of it. So, when I heard the statement from my boss about doing graduate coursework was not an objective that supported company goals, I was a little put off. Thoughts?
