"Employer's money" and "employee's time" are two VERY different issues. The moeny has to come from above but the evaluation of time is pretty local. I've never had a boss (or heard of one) that said "no" to my paying my own way to SHARE. Over the past 10 years I think I had 2, maybe 3 paid for (and that was going twice a year until 3 years ago). Of course "never had a boss" is pretty limited for me. I've had only 4 bosses over the past 20 years - 2 in the past 15.
