If your boss doesn't allow you to upskill, is it a red flag or nah? I ckp dkt boss yg i nak ambik training online. kebetulan company mmg offer pun budget utk sesiapa yg nak upskilling themselves. This training will help me to be better at my job and dpt cert jugak but my boss taknak approve. Kalau i dpt cert ni, level i lebih kurang sama la mcm boss i. U rasa dia taknak approve sebab tergugat dgn i ke? Dia tak justify why dia reject application i tau..

That sounds like a red flag to me. Upskilling benefits everyone, including the company. If your boss is blocking your growth, it might be time to have a candid conversation or look for other opportunities

It could be a red flag if your boss is not supportive of your growth. A good leader typically encourages team members to upskill.

Think about the company culture. If they promote continuous learning but your boss is against it, it might indicate a lack of alignment

If the training isn’t approved, explore free or low-cost resources outside of work. There are many online platforms that can help you grow.
