I can see both sides of the coin as well, but I happen to work for a company
where I only get two weeks of sick/vacation time combined. As a single mom
with two kids (one who has medical problems), I do not have an extra day to
spend on personal development or taking a vacation - all of my time during
any given year is taken as time to spend with my sick son.

If I could just talk my company into caring about my personal development,
maybe I could better my skills during the other 50 weeks in the year.

You-guys are taking a possible method used by some and turning it
into a condemnation of how I lead my life.

Wanna know how we spend our two weeks vacation? Sitting on a beach in
Jamaica wearing smiles, SPF4, flipflops, with mudslides dripping down
our chins. There's nothing wrong with my quality of life. ya mon

But I'm also not afraid to take a few days and invest it in
professional development, either
