I was replying for the situation that you mentioned of full time employees, with contracting I think we both agree.
> If a person is not willing to sacrifice to learn skills on their own time
That's what I mean exactly. They might not have free time! That's why you're supposed to work 40h/week and any extra is a plus, not a requirement. The same argument could be applied to any field, so should someone without free time just not work? That's why it's unfair to require that employees spend large chunks of their free time to learn how to do the company's job.

- franciscop 9y agoThere are many companies that do care about their employees and let them learn during work time or even teach them themselves! I believe those are some of the best companies around the globe as well (;
- scarface74 9y agoSure a company that is still writing software that is based on their tech stack would be more than willing to make sure that you know that. But what happens when the tech stack they are using becomes outdated?
