When I say speculation, I mean regarding what retraining would entail.
You’re assuming a simple switch in technology stack, when in reality there are varying degrees of difficulty in switching roles (eg web to native mobile development, FE dev to payment infrastructure, CRUD apps to high perf networking, and so on), some of which require years in experience to be effective. Or maybe they need 36 marketers instead, you can’t really “retrain” for a new BsC.
There’s really no reason for a company to take the risk of “hiring” 36 juniors other than a vague sense of the company being indebted to them - which they’re not, if employees were well compensated and treated fairly. It’s a business relationship. You don’t owe them, they don’t owe you anything.
