Although I think these days it's more like, learn the stuff on your own

And this could have some drawbacks, most notably more work in the

Sad but true, it often ends up as training on your own time. But
developers that are unhappy for a long time usually end up leaving - its
amazing that management never sees that. Give developers a great
environment and they will bend over backwards and give their all.
True, same applies for QA professionals who get paid half of what developers
get and support gets often just half of that - besides being as skilled, but
differently skilled as developers. And that just doesn't apply only to
software companies. Any place where employees are considered nothing more than
"human capital" folks end up leaving....assuming they have a place to go.
