Could you please inform my managers who keep pestering me about career growth of this shift so I could just focus on the work? ktnx
If you don't upskill for free with no additional comp, how will they continue to cram down labor costs to make their quarterly numbers? You are, broadly speaking, treated as an asset to be sweat until you can be replaced.
Well, tbf, it's not like there's no carrot in this case. (I'm at a FAANG)
But I'm sure what you're describing is common in the general case.
Certainly, at FAANG outlier comp, it is likely worth your while vs the median.
