Work paying for certs

I did a search before and couldn't find anything.

How many people have work pay for their certs? I ask this because my job will pay for any exam I pass as long as its relavant to my job. Is this a rare thing? I have never had an employer do this before.

Do you find yourself studying for exams that you normally wouldn't beacuse of this?

Just curious.

Mine don't pay and actively discourage pursuing certification but I believe them to be the odd one out.

I once worked in a place where they would send you on a week long course but barred you from taking the certification. One guy went ahead and he got a written warning. Rubbed salt into the wound that he failed the exam too.

They were under the misconception that if people get certs they leave when it is actually the other way around I think.

At this company it would 101% be that they would get certs and leave. No sane person would want to work here. I got myself my certs, so now I'm going to leave.
