Yeah? Being managed poorly doesn't mean they don't have the resources to do it differently. It just means they're not willing to expend those resources. My point is, if we look at the other end of the spectrum, we have small companies that literally cannot afford to mentor juniors while paying them a salary (and tying up the seniors' productive time). Here it's not a question of how your company chooses to manage things, it's a question of whether they can afford to spend 20% of the budget on something that may turn out not to produce anything of value. Even if they're willing, it's a big gamble and can really put the company out of business in worst case.
