I have seen employers grossly misunderstand "professional growth" to mean paying for tons of random seminars telling you the basics of being a professional like taking care of your appearance, carrying yourself, setting goals, etc. I don't think they understood that growth == promotions and income advancement.
I would have much rather taken home an extra $5k, or get a promotion two months earlier, than waste time sitting through self help seminars
- john_moscow 7y agoBecause the cost per employee of a useless self help seminar would be way below $5K and the HR might even get a kickback.
- opportune 7y agoI don’t think so because they also paid for hotels, airfare, food etc for multiple days. But yeah probably a kickback involved
