Trying to hire high-skilled workers at rock-bottom rates is not a skills gap.

Yi, what makes you think talented workers will stay at your firm if you don't train them?

Pay.

Maybe in that side of the Pond. My experience says talented workers that are deprived of ways of advancing their careers will soon look for greener pastures.

I guess it depends on what sort of workers, Yi is talking about.

Over here it's not uncommon that if your company pays for an expensive training (say, CPA courses or similar) you sign a waiver that if you leave the company withinin two or three years after the training you have to pay back  all or part of the costs.

Does that exist in the U.S.?

Yes, as has been said in this thread by me. :contract:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

It also happens when they pay for college courses for you.

And then better when not seen because they are in the kitchen baking pie.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I think you guys are looking for Meri's historical woman thread.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
