>> Seems more and more like nobody wants to pay for anything...employers are expecting employees to foot all the bill...not even tuition reimbursement in some circumstances. :-(<<
Yes, this is very much the common thoughts of those who are working for "the man". In Michigan (#1 in unemployment in the USA for years, suffering a one state depression, and already predicted to not get out of the recession while the rest of the country recovers) people are just happy to be working. Putting in a few hours a week to invest in YOUR career is not asking so much when we all work in at-will jobs (regardless if you are employee, employer, or independent). From my perspective, I hire smart people who care enough about their career to make this investment. Why? Because that is how I did it. As the old saying goes, if you think your employer is not treating you the way you think you are entitled, find some other company who will. What you may find is the grass is just green enough on your side of the fence.
