[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what company insists on traveling on your own time? [/quote]

Uh, like, every company I've ever worked for.  Preferred flights were on Sunday or in the late evening (after you'd worked a full day at the office, of course).

The place I work for now has an awesome policy that I've not experienced before: if you have to travel on a Saturday or Sunday, no matter how little time you're traveling, you get a FULL comp day added to your PTO bank.

This place doesn't even make you rush to catch a flight right after a conference ends, which is something I've been used to.  Example, conference ends at 4pm on a Thursday, which is when you can start breaking down your booth.  You get that all sorted and packed to be picked up by the logistics company and then make a mad dash to the airport to make your 6:30 pm flight so that you land early enough to get some sleep before being expected back in the office the next morning at 8 am.

The conference I was just as ended at 5pm on Friday and I was allowed to fly out Saturday morning.  So I got a free night in Miami on the company's tab and then 8 hours of comp time for flying out on Saturday.  It's heaven!
