Following in the footsteps of other tech companies like 3M and Google, Apple has decided to launch a program allowing workers to take a certain amount of time off to pursue projects and ideas outside their normal duties. The program, dubbed "Blue Sky," offers up to two weeks paid holiday in which some employees can work on their own pet projects. The intent of the program is to foster ideas that could prove to be of benefit to Apple, though a secondary purpose would likely be to help retain employees that might otherwise jump ship to other companies.
