Does your shop tend to train existing employees for more complex

Comments - Advantages/Disadvantages of training existing employees?

Was told that the policy is to hire the talent that we need vs upgrading existing staff.

Advantage, you might get what you want quickly.

Disadvantage, everyone knows they are pigeonholed for life.

Right now though with downsizing to match sales, a lot of people are being stuffed into
slots or handed another hat just to keep the operation running.
