Finally something to agree on🙏

Hello - hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm looking into risk assurance opportunities at Meta, especially Application Manager, Controls (min 5 YOE) and Manager, Compliance (min 12 YOE). I am a Senior Manager with 9 years of IT risks assurance experience. Does anyone have any thought on which position I should apply? If anyone currently at Meta could share your experience, that would also help. If anyone is open to providing referrals, I could provide my background. Facebook (Meta)

By the sound of your post, I'm assuming your company pays for your education up front. Our company offers tuition reimbursement after successful completion of a course, so I would just confirm that's not the way your company does things. This is also one of those tasks that isn't a priority to anyone but you, so you have to stay on top of them. Weekly follow ups, reminders, etc.

Yess, they pay up front. So I annoyingly can't start until they pay for it all :(
So frustrating fighting for the benefits you work for! I’d try to send an email asking about it, if they need anything else, or include a date it could be completed by so you can make sure you aren’t missing school dates. Is this your first time doing that at the company? Wondering if it is a consistent problem or just this time.
Kind of good and bad news then. At least they don’t have a track record of putting it off, but it doesn’t help you a lot right now! Hoping they get to it and it’s one less thing to worry about.
I think all you can do is what you are already doing. I would continue to folow up with them as they are responsible for those things. I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with this.

I wonder if it would help to out a deadline on them? Like I need this approved by x date so I can begin classes?

Well they know I am doing distance learning so I won't be doing in to a college. They know I can start whenever and finish whenever annoyingly :( Its a monthly payment and I finish whenever but they have said they will cover it for x amount of months.
