Bill's sabbatical
As I've mentioned in previous posts, Principled Technologies, the company Bill and I co-founded and work at, offers a sabbatical program to all of its employees. (I gave more detail about the program in this earlier post.) A key part of the program is that PT encourages employees to do a week of charity work and provides funds either for travel expenses to go to the charity or as a donation to the charity. As I've also shown in some earlier entries, we're making a series of short videos about what employees have done for charity work during their sabbaticals. We post those videos on our site and YouTube channel, and we also give them for free to the charities for their use.
The video for Bill's sabbatical work is now available. Check it out.
You can get Bill's take on his charity time via this entry on his blog.
Bill's been working with this group since long before we created our sabbatical program. He truly loves spending time with and helping the children there. He's a good man, and I'm proud to have been his business partner for 28 years.

tried on comment once, but I was kicked off, so if this is a second one, choose the best one and delete the other....
No, this is the first one I received. Thanks for the kind words on this and on the video with Sarah in it.
It is absolutely wonderful that employees are allowed a sabbatical every 7 years. Many companies do not have anything like this available, and are not really interested in employee welfare or helping employees in their efforts to volunteer. It's really great that your company does care.
Thanks. At PT, we believe we are all in it together, and we care deeply about our employees.
I wish more places were like PT in management style. It is never a good feeling to work in a workplace managed by fear.
I know we are not perfect--far from it--but we do genuinely care about everyone in the company.
