    I really want to agree with you.

    No. You train your staff because you value them – you don’t ditch experience. You’ll discover the truth of this eventually.

    I wish this was common sentiment. The modern company only values you on the way in or the way out. Otherwise you don’t have any leverage.

    I’ve always believed in the idea of hiring either experienced technical leaders you want to keep around and who will mentor, and junior staff who can be mentored into roles where they’ll be happy+productive for the long term.

    Around 2021 I stopped being a manager and companies stopped doing this.

    But this does come back to my point: Stat Can needs fresh blood to bring in new ideas. I don’t think they have those modern technical leaders the way they should, and they’re still stuck on legacy tools that make it impossible to pull in private sector veterans.
