The month keeps getting better and better

This is in response to my plea for my company to pay for my membership dues in GA association of paralegals. Three weeks later, this is their response. When I applied for this job, they told me they encourage you professionally.

Anita,

I heard back from HR today and they have indicated that GE cannot reimburse for expenses related to a voluntary professional membership association. They want to be consistent on how they treat these types of requests.

Again, sorry for the delay in getting an answer to you.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Mind you these dues cost $125. WTF!!!
