That's pretty much what we've been doing for a couple decades.
Now kindly piss off.
It's more that this is the group that is the most curious about it and that also may have questions where you can't easily google the answers.
Is there a way to opt out of this protection racket?
Is it illegal in the UK to spy on the US?
If not, what exact reason would there be to extradite him? Even the accusation is rubbish.
>Obviously, you personally ought to stick to drinking Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers.
The *early* bottled wine coolers were a way of disposing of the grapes which were too poor to use even in the popskull sold to winos.
But then with the rise of California wines, those vineyards were replanted.
For decades, now, they've been made with bleached beer, like zima. And the those other cocktails, seltzers, and stuff are basically the same thing.
To make the alcohol, they mash malted barley (first step in beer), but add no hops, and then chemically remove the color and distill (or are the last two in the other order?).
I dunno.

Well, ok.
If it's just yet another key that you have to pay a premium for a keyboard where you can turn it off so you don't accidentally press it, no thanks.

Quite simple: "Hey, competitor? The guy you shanghaied from us? Yeah, allow me to let you in on a secret, that guy bailed and stiffed us with the training costs. Just a heads up in case you plan to qualify them..."
1. It's less a lack of ambition and initiative, if my company doesn't want to invest in me, why the hell should I be invested in my company? Because if I train on my dime, I'll get the training I want that will provide me with the skills that I need to go somewhere else for greener pastures. If my company trains me, they can decide what they think will be useful for them and choose the training depending on their needs.
2. I dare say it's not more cost effective to hire outside. Yes, a better trained employee will want more money. But the key difference is that the existing employee already knows your company and the people in it. I know that C-Levels think that people are fungible and that they're plug and play, but they are not. Depending on the complexity of the job and the company business red tape, it can take months until a new hire is up to speed with company processes and procedures, both official and inofficial ones.
Zero carbon?
Dude, flat beer is the worst!
You have no idea how many horses you just offended...
There are ways to ensure a person has to stay for a while when you train them, it's all a matter of contracts. Mine stipulates that if my employer pays for my training, I have to stay around for 3-5 years (depending on how expensive it is) or I have to refund them.
Sure, one could argue that refunding may be financially more interesting than staying, but I guess that means that you should pay your workers more because if they can command a salary difference higher than the training cost, you would not have kept them either way.
This right there.
It's amazing how often I got hired for what I know (and learned on my own), for a multiple of what it would have costed to train someone who already existed. For some weird reason they have no problem hiring someone for six figures when training an existing person for four would do.
