Maybe it's your company? All companies I worked for so far allowed or even encouraged learning during paid work hours. Even an hour per day. Not something like learning a new language, but stuff like reading up on new framework/tools/architecture, how systems of other teams work or the inner workings of their programming language of choice. Basically anything that could proof useful later.
- awild 8y agoThis is very true. I have a colleague who is changing careers and while his lack of knowledge frustrates me from time to time, he is willing to learn, but instead of reading git manuals and bash tutorials at work he had made a deal with management, that he will do overtime now so that he can go home earlier to learn that stuff. And it's all the most basic stuff without which the colleague really wouldn't be able to do their job. (I would honestly not have hired them for their current position but I can't judge).
