So just some background, I design lighting, fire alarm and security systems for off-site data storage facilities. I'm not a certified designer with any formal training, 98% self-taught.
Anyway, I've asked my work numerous times to get me training, I've provided them with various course information and have even broken down the costs for the training and why it would benefit me to take courses geared toward the work I do everyday for the last 2 years.
Recently I was asked to produce a photometric drawings for a warehouse. Photometric drawings basically tell you that if you use "X" lighting fixture you'll achieve "Y" light levels in the area.
Anyway, not only did I have to find this program, I had to teach myself how to use it. I received 0 feedback, 0 training and on a recent job I have just received 8, count them EIGHT emails from 4 different people questioning the readings and questioning how I put together the drawings and whether or not I know how to use the program (note: none of them know how to use it).
I'm just pissy, I ask for training and receive none.... I ask over and over again and yet all I get in return is bullsh*t.
Seriously, I can't wait to hear whether or not I made the cut to become one step closer to enter law enforcement b/c I'm seriously about to tell everyone at work to f*ck off and either do it themselves or get a "professional" to do it since I'm just a retard with a computer.
