> All enhancing an employee's career does is ensure that they have leverage to negotiate higher salaries or leaving the company. No company wants this. Explicitly, no. Growing talent inside is far less risky than hiring from the outside. Sometimes that means someone will leave, yes - but if the relationship is good they will do it at the right time when they are ready, not when they are miserable. This is win win. Long term net positives here are hard to understate. > I can only assume that it doesn't exist or that it is so rare that it may as well not exist. Well I can equally attest your assumption is false. But this is probably just a demonstration that path dependence is a real thing. All I can say is you have a very negative view of the whole situation, which doesn't match my experience at all, or that of many people I know.
