This is vacation?
If I didn't have a training budget, I suppose I'd have to use vacation to attend.
Ooohhh, a training budget. That's a good idea.
Definitely ask for one at your next job. Though, short of $5K+, I don't expect you'll go to much dedicated training, it will be more conferences like SW and MLcon.
I'm budgeted for $2500/yr which includes transportation, hotel and meals. Dedicated Cisco training that it's local, for example, the class will be $3500+. Sure there are less expensive ones, but those seem less common.
I've found a lot of places don't believe in budgets. (I do.)
If we can afford it and its a need, we do it.

Well... I'm on United, so I guess we'll catch up Friday.... maybe Saturday morning.

I don't believe in budgets, but I do believe that training is an essential cost of supporting any department.

So sorry

Did you see that @MarigabyFrias is here waiting to see you?
-
There is a free shuttle to/from the airport.
-
That's awesome!
-
Does the HI run the shuttle?

Yeah that's really more I mean about believing in budgets.
I feel like if you give people a budget, they'll spend every penny of it.
Have a non-monetary plan in place, and then purchase as needed/available.

Yes.
Give them a call when you land.

I'm on Amtrak. Shall we race?

You, my friend, are at a distinct advantage.
-
Hmmm, now I don't feel so bad being on a smallish American Airlines plane.
If you consider 50 seats small.

You have apparently never tried to go from Chicago to St Louis on Amtrak.
@scottalanmiller claims that this line is decent, so giving it a go.

This isn't about budgets - this is about your compensation package (I suppose it's still technically about budgets too).
This is like vacation - they must give it to me or they are in breach of the employment contract.

Only that stretch of it. East of Utica it gets bad, too.

This is supposedly how we do it here - no real budgets... we decide what we need, decide if the business needs to do it.. if so.. it's done.
