Except 99.999% of personal projects won't be that popular and allocating time for personal projects is a waste in that regard. Basically you'd be playing lottery and not get anything out of it.
There's plenty of reasons to encourage personal projects, but this isn't one of them.
Lol, downvote this guy for pointing out that it might not make sense for your company to pay for your personal projects
Maybe because it's a wise investment to encourage knowledge workers gain additional experience working on things they enjoy even if you might not be able to pick up one of those things and directly make another revenue stream out of it.
They kinda covered that in the 2nd paragraph.
Fair point.
