That's just long term product planning. The rest of the people here are talking about long term employee development - making your employees more valuable so they produce better products rather than treating them as costs that must be reduced.
- chrisseaton 5y ago> rather than treating them as costs that must be reduced But employers are paying more and more than ever before?
- endisneigh 5y agoPaying more money doesn't mean you're investing into entry level employees necessarily.
- chrisseaton 5y agoThe goalposts are all over the place in this thread. These people must be working for terrible companies. Come and work for Shopify! We even partner with a university to offer year-round internships while you study for your degree. I regularly mentor juniors to build them up to research-level engineers.
- endisneigh 5y ago> The goalposts are all over the place in this thread. yeah, they really are. no one said anything about terrible companies, smh.
- Accujack 5y agoNot most of the employers I deal with. Wages are exactly where they've been for decades.
- irrational 5y agoIf I wanted to get a tech masters degree, my company would pay for it. If I want to learn a new technology, my manager will absolutely allow me to spend time doing that. I’m constantly working on projects that force me to learn new technologies. I feel like my company had no problems with my becoming more valuable. It’s mostly up to me.
