The theme that resonates most with me here in the comments is lack of willingness on the side of companies to actually develop talent. For example a personal career goal of mine is to finally bridge the gap from individual contributor into management. But nobody seems to be open to taking on a manager unless they have X-years of management experience, and the companies I've worked for have always preferred hiring managers from the job market rather than internally promoting individual contributors to management status.
If any company offered me a shot at management right now, despite the fact that I have no management experience, I would do it in a heartbeat.

If I employ somebody and build up their skills, what's to stop them from just jumping ship and capturing the payoff for my investment all for themselves?

If an employer is good to me, I'm inclined to be good to that employer in return. If an employer acts like a greedy self-interested econ, then I, too, will act like a greedy self-interested econ.
