Last job I had
the manger organised mandatory training with an outside training company for 3 days into my holiday *after* I'd booked them and told me I had to attend upon pain of death or jobloss.
Unfortunately for him I have been a union rep. most of my working life and knew absolutely my rights and responsibilities.
I enjoyed telling him to shove that idea up his bottom & then tell him that since he had stipulated that this training was mandatory he could organise another session just for me once I returned from my annual leave. Which he did because he had to.

I'd love to glide on my own - went up once with my mum, but Id definitely pay to do that.
