It appears that I am on this training course at the end of the month. I kinda knew that already as my boss had shared that information, but I had some time off pre-booked for that period so I was expecting to be rescheduled. An email came out earlier, confirming it.
The guy in charge of the training told me that it was a very intensive course and we should aim to not miss any, but this is not on me. Communication around this has been awful. A lot of information was shared yesterday that we should have been told weeks ago.
In fact, a lot of information should have been shared with our managers, to better let them choose who to send on the training, and when.
It's a pattern I've seen in work over the past two years - the standard and frequency of communication has dropped off a cliff. Don't get me wrong, there can be too much at times, and I've worked with people who demand "over communication" then cry because they're that swamped with emails and IMs, they can't keep track of everything.
But, on the plus side, there was a rumour shared that could mean a substantial pay rise "soon" (probably early next year). It's hard not to get excited about that, but at the same time, expectations need to be managed.
