What is work exactly? Is studying on my spare time (often during work hours) work? It's focused and productive, but it's to no advantage of my employer. Humans will always naturally do the bare minimum for others, while maximizing benefit for themselves.

How is you getting more competent not advantageous to your employer? Perhaps if the subject is completely irrelevant, but even then, I think it's nice to stay sharp and be ready to pick up new skills as our jobs evolve.

I pick up skills to get better jobs or increase my position. Sometimes my goals align with my employers.

You can be more competent and prioritize your own projects instead of employer's
