In this case, the training is an inducement for you to stay at the company, which is a different reason to send you to training. Which has nothing to do with efficiency and cost savings -- except the cost savings on not having to replace you when you quit. It also assumes that you can't learn anything on your own, and the only way to increase your value is to send you to training. Which assumption I would argue is true for some, but not true for all. Some people can read and hack and learn that way. Depends on the person, I warrant. As for being knowledge workers and not factory assembly workers, I mention manufacturing for the general ease of understanding the process. System principles apply just as well to knowledge work. --Sean Stickle -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Woodward Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 8:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CFCDev] Free vs. Paid Training for CF frameworks WAS State of Coldfusion UI Development On 1/16/06, Sean Stickle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This is standard operations management, which is a good field of study > for programmers, actually. I think you're completely ignoring the fact that as programmers we're knowledge workers, not factory assembly workers. Standard operations management principles don't apply. I would hate to work for a boss who doesn't see the value in training and the fact that if I don't continue my education I'm a wasting asset as far as the company is concerned.
