But the point of this entire thing, is that the employees leave whether the company pays for training or not. So why pay for it? The employee is going to bail out either way. So the only question is, does the company lose thousands of dollars paying for their training or not?As far as training and short term thinking.
I've seen more than one company that the management had that sort of thinking. Didn't want to pay for ongoing education for the staff....and if the staff did it on their own (because they needed it for the tasks required of them and wanted to be better at it) management absolutely didn't care...in fact took those assignments away in the future because they did so well that they became shining stars.
Of course they left and got a 50% pay bump. Some even doubled their pay.
You do know that the current CEO of Walmart, started off unloading trucks at a Walmart distribution center? He just keep working there, and looking for promotions.Judicious job-hopping is often the only way a worker can rise.
