Because the business pays them to do a specific job which doesn’t include them training for their next job? Is it really that common that people expect their current employer to subsidize their “skill growth” when they know they are just going to hop to another company in the near term? Not judging —- just asking as an outsider looking in. —edit— Huh, just downvotes so I assume it is expected to be able to train yourself on company time…

> Is it really that common that people expect their current employer to subsidize their “skill growth” Yes, that's common in professions. > when they know they are just going to hop to another company in the near term? That's a consequence of employers not willing to keep paying market rate over time. The only way to get back to that rate is to go somewhere else. Also, most employers are expecting to hire already competent proffesionals, and invest nothing into training people in-house. So for each person that jumps ship, when they hire a replacement, they enjoy a subsidy of said replacement having secretly trained themselves on previous employers' dime.
