ManagementSpeak: We’ve allocated money for training this year. If you find a class that interests you and will help you improve, I encourage you to take it.
Translation: We’re going to cut the training budget in August to make it look like we have fiscal discipline. Between now and then I’ll just tell you to wait until later in the year “just in case you really need” a different type of training instead.
Thanks to Alan Tignanelli for explaining how budget management works.
