At the department meeting today, the boss said getting a masters degree was not an objective that supported company goals and was not a good objective for our self reviews. Yours truly mentioned pursuing a masters degree in his self review. ... Additionally, my employer pays folks with an MA more than folks with a BA, and folks with a PhD significantly more, for the same level of work. And, allegedly, my employer does have tuition reimbursement, though I can find no examples of it. So, when I heard the statement from my boss about doing graduate coursework was not an objective that supported company goals, I was a little put off. My response: Graduate coursework is considered personal, not corporate. It might make you a better, more well-rounded employee, but that is not how is it seen. Your taking advantage of tuition reimbursement is not going to directly help your company make money or help your boss look good. And that is what you are there for. ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
