Let's say you were a company CEO or head of HR, and decided to hire untrained people and then train them. How would you handle the following: 1) The reality that life is uncertain, and the company might be bankrupt a year from now. There's no sure thing in life, even huge companies disappear. If training a new employee would only pay off in several years, would you still do it? 2) At-will employment, where the employee could stick around for the training, then quit as soon as that's done. I think forcing the employee to stay for N months/years after that is a raw deal. 3) The fact that that employee isn't contributing as much to the company, but you're still paying him/her market wages. Would you offer them lower pay during the training period?
