I don't want to spend my time outside work hours developing skills needed for my job. That's effectively the job stealing my time and money.

And those who do, have a competitive edge over you. It's an investment in yourself that qualifies you to leave and find a better paying job.

Leaving and finding a better paying job is already Easy Enough after a few years at one place regardless.

I've got better ways to spend my time for my career and life than learning things for the benefit of my current employer.

If you end up in that spiral you will never get out of it, there will always be someone else working harder than you on improving some skill.

Time is the only thing you have in life, use it wisely and balanced.
