Last year, I wrote about the prisoner's dilemma of training your employees[0]. As Mark points out, many companies don't invest because they don't find it valuable. What I tried to point out was that big tech companies already _are_ investing heavily in their talent, and especially as these companies start pulling in less experienced people to train up, companies that don't invest are going to fall behind.

I don't know how convincing that argument is, but hopefully realizing how much investment the big tech companies are putting into their talent is eye-opening for some people.

(Note: I talked about investing in junior employees, but the idea applies to all your employees.)
