It's not just that in America. Employee training is deemed nothing but a cost rather than an investment, and there is also the culture of expendability of people. In the US, I find that companies tend to expend their employees very easily if they are no longer deemed useful to the firm. Rather than placing them within another function and training them into it (which would save an enormous amount of money on recruiting processes), they let them go. As the article said, humans are the most flexible machines. My dad's changed jobs very frequently because of this in recent years, despite the fact he has tons more experience than most others in his industry. I was also expended pretty easily after working for Bloomberg, yet I'm being welcomed back to my old job (an english company) after leaving it so abruptly a few months ago.
