The problem with paying some employees to go to these events is that some go to more than others, and when the people in the office see others leaving 'work' often, and getting paid, they either resent the absentee, or look for ways to skip out on work. In most situations, it's better that people get paid to get work done, and have the flexibility to leave (unpaid) if they want/need to.
- steverb 12y agoI give my developers to leave (paid) if they want/need to, and if they can come up with a decent excuse for why a conference or class will make them a better developer then I pay for that too. These people are professionals, and I treat them like professionals.
