Perhaps you can request some conference time as part of your next performance review.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Cheers, JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467669.post-43951908071386990582009-08-27T09:16:26.792-04:002009-08-27T09:16:26.792-04:00Grr.

So I have people like you to thank for scheduling conferences during the workday when I can't attend because my employer won't send me to technical conferences. :-P<br /><br />I'm definitely a fan of weekend conferences.<br /><br />It's one thing for me to understand that I don't want to become a NNPP and to spend my own time preventing that from happening. It's another to make my employer understand that they shouldn't want me to be a NNPP, or that such a thing even exists, but that's a bigger topic, covered in your <a href="http://blog.jayfields.com/2009/01/cost-of-net-negative-producing.html" rel="nofollow">NNPP</a> article.Amy Thornehttp://programmergrrl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467669.post-90186223633987060282009-08-26T01:33:17.116-04:002009-08-26T01:33:17.116-04:00Thanks, I've updated my translation.Thanks, I've updated my translation.Jeremy Lecourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577987919314371957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467669.post-33441924019894886682009-08-25T20:38:23.528-04:002009-08-25T20:38:23.528-04:00Hi jlecour,

I have never understood how some developers think that they don't need to make time for expanding their horizons. My chief complaint with many employers is that they don't need to play a part in their development staff growing their technical knowledge. That used to not be the case, but since outsourcing is so prevalent in corporations I assume that they "think" they can easily hire someone with the technical skills they need for a given task. No thoughts given to growing technical skills for those who have the business knowledge.Dennis Yarboroughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06880703591312253975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12467669.post-83297324845955391772009-08-21T12:02:55.888-04:002009-08-21T12:02:55.888-04:00I'm right at the end of one of those 17 day wo...I'm right at the end of one of those 17 day work weeks.

And they transmit it to the Employees that then feel unconfortable using working time for their personal development.Simonehttp://blog.vizio360.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
