"Mandatory CPR training after graveyard shift – am I the only one seeing the irony?"

I've been on the graveyard shift for about 3.5 months now, and I just found out that I’m required to attend a mandatory CPR meeting from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. sometime in the next couple of weeks. This means that on that day, I’ll likely get home, manage just a couple of hours of sleep, and then have to head back out.

Honestly, I find it extremely insensitive for them to expect those of us on the graveyard shift to handle this. What’s your take on this? I’m seriously considering reaching out to HR because the irony isn’t lost on me—they want me to take a class on saving lives, but they’re putting mine at risk by expecting me to drive on minimal sleep. Graveyard shifts already make sleep a struggle, and this just adds to it.

Maybe I’m not being the most rational or logical about this (just got off a shift), but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Play devil’s advocate if you can.
