That was actually a stated policy in a university (!!) where I worked
previously. In that boss's own words, "If we allow you more training,
your marketability will be enhanced and you'll leave us for more money
somewhere else."
It is quite common HR policy. It is usually kept 'in secret' (in silence
at least), becasue it nothing to be proud of, but it is in quite common
use. From the other hand I know companies in Poland where people work
for two reasons:
a) to get some experience, take some classes and go away with better CV.
b) because they don't want to learn, they don't want to work to hard,
usually they rather stupid than dumb.
Since I part of my job is teaching on mainframe courses, I often meet
them (only mainframe staff in fact) and observe their careers. Sometimes
one can distinguish a and b -types during first lab.
