Excellent reply. I actually track my time on Personal R&D. Even on HackerNews. It's nice to have an employer that facilitates a continuous learning environment.
Thanks. I one day plan to create my own company and free self learning time is going to be encouraged.
It is slightly cliché but this was recently posted on our internal "social network"... CFO asks "what if we spend our money training our staff and they leave?", CTO replies "what if we don't and they stay?".
So many jobs, especially technical, require constant education, an employer who wants the best employees know and encourage that.
