Had a Job a while back that knew of my HOPE/DC plans and were cool with that until one of us 3 techs left and the other was fired, literally leaving me with the work of 3 people.
After not doing anything resembling hiring a replacement or even looking, I reminded the boss of my vacation plans (that I booked off 6 months earlier) and that he might want to get a replacement. He told me I could'nt go (flight an everything already booked) and that I needed to stay (no raise or compensation offered to cover his stupidity).
It's not my fault he did'nt hire replacements, so I gave my 2 weeks notice and the day after I left, I hopped on a plane and never looked back.
I wanted out of there anyways, this was sort of the last straw, but it's nice to say that I quit a job to goto Defcon.
There's not much that would stop me from going to con, but I agree with Chris, work/family commitments take priority.
