If you don't upskill for free with no additional comp, how will they continue to cram down labor costs to make their quarterly numbers? You are, broadly speaking, treated as an asset to be sweat until you can be replaced.

Certainly, at FAANG outlier comp, it is likely worth your while vs the median.
