I am in a new job, still in my probationary period. Not my first job, I have over 10 YoE, but I have not started a new job in a new company for a looong time. In good old corporate fashion I had about 300 trainings to go though or policies/SOPs to read and sign in the LMS when I started. I'm about 1/3 way through. I've been saving some for later as when I started I knew I'd have to take a week away to take care of a family member. My manager agreed I can have a combination of work from home days and time off during that week. We had a discussion of work I can do while working from home, and I mentioned all the trainings I have not done yet. Manager basically said that's not enough work and I should not spend time with them, just scroll though without reading and sign. I'm not comfortable with that. I'm not planning on reading them all thoroughly and learning them by heart, but I'd want to spend some time to understand the main points. If I spend average 10 minutes per document/training module, that would take over 36 hours to complete all that I have left. It's also about principle, the company wants me to sign all that so if something goes wrong they can say they trained me and they're not liable, so I expect to have some time to actually understand what I'm signing. Some are not super relevant to my job, to me it's just a bit unreasonable for the company to drown me in documents that might be loosely relevant to the job and not allow me to take the time to review them. Am I being unreasonable about this and those trainings are just corporate bureaucracy that does not matter, or is my manager in the wrong to tell me to not read them?
