Oh hey, I've heard this joke before -one manager says to another "But what if they leave after we train them?"

The other manager asks back "What if we don't train them, and they stay?"

Not investing in people (and jobs) is a two-way street; there's always someone young and naive to think hard work and investment will be rewarded, and most companies have been around long enough to have set the assumption that "No it fucking doesn't".

The new guys need the most investment. Companies hiring are actively teaching them to be jaded by not investing in their employees.
