It could also be jealousy.  I have experienced it before.  It doesn't bode well when men see women progress or want to further their career.  They can feel intimidated, even if it's your boss.

Marie may be right but it makes me mad that someone would stand in your way because they couldn't do without you.  One day a week isn't going to make a huge difference if your boss knows about it in advance and you have your work covered.

That's why I don't believe in spoon-feeding these people.  They rely on us so much that when we want a day off of ask to attend a training course, they aren't sure they can do without us - utter rubbish if you ask me.  They should want you to progress.  They should want us to further our career and then be proud that they have the best assistant around.

Honestly, common sense sometimes is lacking!  Is it any wonder some of us move on from jobs?
