How do you ask for more support (time to study) from your manager when you have failed once already?

Not sure you’d like my answer here goes.

You were hired to do a job. It’s not managements job to provide you with time that you are expected to be working to study. That’s not to say there aren’t down times and then maybe use that to study. But short of working out a reduced schedule, which would probably come with a reduced pay, I don’t quite know what else to say. Maybe schedule a meeting and see if you can’t use some of your pto - hopefully you have some accrued? - and take a chunk of time to focus on studying? Can you go part time for a few months?

I did a loa for a few months to focus on studying. It was hard financially as I wasn’t getting a pay check but after discussing with my husband and coming up with a budget we both agreed that was the best option for us.

Good luck!

They are putting conditions like give your full commitment to join then only we'll release offer letter. I am currently looking for work life balance with growth.

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11.

I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
